You could write out the backup function you need under a different name. Then have the backup symbol at the end of the link call the new name of the backup function. I agree that this kind of approach is less convenient, but this doesn't seem like a persuasive choice for one of the two remaining OS-dependent symbol binding numbers. Perhaps you should try to sell this idea to the ELF ABI, the generic space has seven available numbers. Ian
