That It need not be, but gcc is a friendly compiler and puts useful info about static functions in the symbol table. Our bsd.lib.mk strips it from *.o but not from *.so. >feature is a function of the compiler, not of the linker/loader. >(Except when it was compiled with debugging I believe, though I'm not >positive on that account) It's essential to have static symbols for things compiled with -g and useful to have them for things compiled without -g (e.g., /kernel).
