Shouldn't 'objdump -syms' just output all imports (and exports?), because *that's* what a PE loader actually sees as "symbols"...? Or rather, what's the '-syms' option *really* meant to do, on say, an ELF system? //David Olofson --- Programmer, Reologica Instruments AB .- M A I A -------------------------------------------------. | Multimedia Application Integration Architecture | | A Free/Open Source Plugin API for Professional Multimedia | `----------------------------> http://www.linuxdj.com/maia -' .- David Olofson -------------------------------------------. | Audio Hacker - Open Source Advocate - Singer - Songwriter | `-------------------------------------> http://olofson.net -' _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
