In the doc it is actually written `@ <number>', near --kill-at, with a space 
between @ and number. If not wrong, it is quite ambiguous: I didn't know 
spaces are allowed in symbols.

It may be I misunderstood it.

The goal for me is:
1. NOT having mangled names in the exports table
2. having an import library which lets ld lookup mangled names
3. having finally an application that imports UNmangled names

I succeeded only with step 1.

Thank you for answering and the URL.
