I think it is a good idea - or the best idea right now. Tbh - i don't care much about different optimization levels (i know what you mean and i know the small derivative that uses O3 :P) - i don't care about architecture dependend symbols. Situation is not that nice, because the most of the differences was introduced by different compilers in some architectures. And yes, upstream should hide not needed symbols - but that's not my area of expertise - if any derivative think that these symbols are of no use - they can just delete the symbols file and be done with. So all i can do right now is to make some symbols optional. Cheers Alf
