------- Comment #41 from jbeulich at novell dot com 2006-12-07 08:15 ------- That's not a good idea, I think. The semantics of how to treat undefined symbols in the symbol table that arten't used in any relocations depend on the OS ABI, not the ELF file format. Non-gld linkers may interpret this as the symbol being required to be pulled in.
