Does this mean this depends on the symbol definition order in the assembler file? I really hate the post-processing of compiler output. This isn't GHC. 8-> Can we write a portable assembler file instead? Nick Clifton has written down some guidelines: Tips for writing portable assembler with GNU Assembler (GAS) There's no initializer, so all we need to know is size and alignment. >> Is this necessary?

Something else might want to read the list directly, by starting with DT_DEBUG. Thanks, Florian
