The previous post had incorrect subject heading.  This is a repost. Sorry.
 
 This is a refresh of:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-04/msg00472.html

The patch allows exclusion of symbols in specified libs (optionally all
libs) from export table when producing dll's using ld --shared.
Listing of symbol names in a .def file forces those specific symbols
to be included even if they are contained in excluded libs.



Can this be reviewed?

The diff updated to current CVS is attached.
