It could. There is already some support for it in the Makefiles. I chose to leave it for the eventual maintainer to add since it has packaging and support ramifications. BTW, I did the same for libg++. > Also, why is it that I can do an 'nm libname.so' on some shared > libraries but not on others: The -D option is now needed to list the dynamic symbols in a shared library that can not be stripped. You'll have to ask the binutils developers why they did this. David -- David Engel Optical Data Systems, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1101 E. Arapaho Road (214) 234-6400 Richardson, TX 75081
