I'd hardly call it a bug. By the sound of things, Sun has made some
extensions to ELF that GNU ld doesn't understand. Someone (you

This may still not prove your claim as the final ELF spec has been done by Sun
and AT&T as part of the the joined work for SVr4.

The original ELF spec was indeed created by these players. But, the design
allowed for a great deal of extensibility. All of the UN*X's have

If you want the syms left undefined, this first hack I'd try is
writing an add_symbol_hook that caused these syms to be ignored.

This is no proof as many things that have been created as joined work
from Sun and AT&T fro SVr4 may look this way.
And please stop responding to this as we did already see a useful repl
