- Subject: [PATCH/RFC] Map .coment/.note to BSD/POSIX symbol types
Hello!
Both .comment and .note sections do not have a BSD/POSIX symbol type. They
are shown as '?'. I don't like the following patch very much, since it may
bring confusion to parsers. What about adding a new, 'n' maybe, symbol type?
Regards,
Elias
