            Bug ID: 20841
           Summary: [DLLTool] [Not A Bug] Suggestion Adding _nm_<symbol>
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.28 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

  Target Milestone: ---

Since LD recognize _nm_<symbol> in lib archieve,
I'm thinking about adding that think in DLLTool.

There are several possibility:
1. Using STRUCT keyword, but DATA keyword (_imp_<symbol>) can not exist if
there is STRUCT keyword.
2. By checking <symbolname>. If there is a dot not a question mark and it had
DATA keyword in it, add _nm_<symbol> automatically.

What do you think the best idea?
Or maybe someone had better code that can be added into DLLTool?
