Much as I like the game of ``let's you and him fight,'' I didn't
really want to step into BSD politics.
I can't see any logical reason why nm should work one way or the
other. Therefore, I'm making an executive decision using the standard
GNU binutils criterion: if there is no other basis for decision, make
it work like SunOS. So I will not change the GNU nm behaviour.
Thanks for the history lessons, though; it was informative.
