The man page definitely has to be changed. I did notice that this is
described in DLL portion of man page, but then I searched for dll and
found that '--dll' means to create a DLL... you may also use '-shared'.
Aha, so --dll and -share are the same thing, so probably the man page
just uses "dll" and "shared lib" interchangeably.
Since I had no idea what version-script is, and it is fairly easy to find
--exclude-symbols in the man page, I think just putting a pointer to
version-scripts in that section would be very helpful.
Thanks again.
