Hi Lynn,

:   Speaking of DLL tools, is there any hope of full DLL support being
: integrated into BFD itself?  Specifically, is there any hope that the
: symbols a DLL defines will get recognized by BFD (they weren't last time
: I tried an objdump -tT on a DLL, though dumping the sections containing
: the symbols did seem to recognize the contents as symbols)?

Do you have an example of this not working ?

I ask because it seems to be working for me.  At least I do get a
symbol dump with 'objdump -t foo.dll' using the current sources in
sourceware.

Cheers

hope short of me putting it in myself (unlikely any time soon, I'm
afraid).
   One problem I did notice is that exported and global symbols are
considered equivalent by BFD, whereas they aren't necessarily in DLL's (I
think - I could probably stand a closer reading of the MS doc describing
the PE format).
