Didn't you suggest that anything in a library residing in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib be excluded? That's not quite the same thing as what I was musing about. I was talking about marking individual symbols. Symbols can be global or static. On elf-supporting symbols global symbols can also be marked "weak". On windows they could be marked "no-export". cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
