I am confused. Does the warning refer to a binary linking
(objdump-NEEDING) to a library it does not use symbols from, or to a
binary that links (ldd-output) to a library is not Depended: on? I had
thought the latter, in which case the correct thing to do is to turn
the check to use objdump, and the warning into an error; but your
comment, Peter, seems to imply the former :-?, in which case I'd like
to suggest a change in the wording:
W: tleenx2; A binary links against a library it does not use symbols from
