Do we need to have this on every platform we support? The symbols we want to hide are internal by convention anyway -- using a linker script or similar technique just improves upon this by preventing applications from misbehaving (and it also improves performance slightly). If no one has bothered to add support for a particular platform's linker they won't get these benefits, but that doesn't seem like a disaster. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
