Indeed. The day suckless software depends on GNU extensions will be a sad day indeed. As far as I can tell linking symbols instead of objects requires unportable flags and unportable binary sections. The reason being, I'm guessing, that you need to determine a given symbol's interdependencies at link time, so you have to link objects (or sections within objects) rather than symbols themselves. cls
