Well, not quick and dirty but with bfd (which we already have in
place). What do you think about that one?
Yeah, I was looking at the bfd->flags, but they are the same, so
if using bfd_canonicalize_symtab() works, that seems OK.
But I think I'll make it quicker and dirtier by changing the
is_bfd_format(filename) function to take a second "stripped"
argument, and overload the function to return the right
thing depending upon whether it's set or not. And I'll
probably forego the use of the nm_call and stripped_binary
variables, and just make the creation of the command string
a simple if-else statement... ;-)
Thanks for finding and testing this. I never noticed this
issue since I only use the debugful version.
