RE: objcopy can't localize dynamic symbols?

[Craig Lawson]

Thanks for your reply, Alan.

OK, so objcopy won't alter the dynamic symbol table. Yet I need a tool
that will. I need to either change global weak symbols to locals, or to
strip specific dynamic symbols. Does anyone know of a tool that will do
this?

If not, then unless there is some fundamental reason which I have not
yet grasped, I am inclined to add this feature to objcopy. Comments?

Thanks,
Craig.

No.  The dynamic symbol table is a different symbol table.

Yes, and relocatable object files.
