That’s not what I see here. Given hello.c containing a “Hello, world!” program: $ make hello cc hello.c -o hello $ nm hello.exe | wc -l 389 If I strip the exe, I get “No symbols,” as expected. There’s no reason a finished executable should have much in the way of exported symbols without debug info, since it is self-contained. You would only expect to get useful output from nm on a stripped binary if it’s an object file or a DLL. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
