Unfortunately all it does do is mention them! It does not explain what it means or how to build or use them. Is there any useful documentation? What we are looking for on MacOS X is the ability to link a static library into a dylib with the -all-load flag, which ensures all symbols are loaded even if not referenced. Having read the MacOS X ld docs, this is the only way to build a dylib which actually includes all the symbol definitions from some other library. I seem to remember seeing libtool use the -all-load flag, but I spent several hours reading what documentation there is and I can see no clues how to do this.
