Ok, so it's a matter of research and testing. HPUX for example don't
have a version map and doesn't have the strip options either, but
allows you to specify:

+hideallsymbols +e sym +e sym

You can dump them all into a file and pull it in with "-c filename"

I can see a list of supported platforms [1], but not a list of
supported compilers/linkers. If it's just a matter of reasearching the
command-line options that can be done fairly easily, if anyone's
interested...

Have a nice day,
