Has anyone ever come across general-purpose tools for modifying shared libraries? What I want to do is to edit the list of "needed" shared libraries to correct the common mistakes that developers make in creating shared objects with large lists of shared libraries. Specifically, I want to modify linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so to remove all of the idiotic references to shared libraries that the Flash 6 developers added. Since this is a plugin for Mozilla, it does not need to specify any extra shared libraries especially since Mozilla has already loaded all of them! I want to do this to make Flash 6 work with flashpluginwrapper. If I can remove the list of needed shared libraries from the DYNAMIC section of the shared library, everyone will be that much closer to a real flash 6 plugin for BSD. /Joe
