A good hint. Haven't thought of that.

I recently faced a situation where I had to use two third-party
libraries that used the same symbols internally, so no matter in
which order I used them, I got a crash.

Is there a possibility to 'relink' an existing library such that the
result of this operaton would be the same as if -Bsymbolic had been
given at link time?

[Btw, am I the only one thinking that using '-Bsymbolic' should rather
be the common case instead of the exception?]
