http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/ld.1.h
tml

      -all_load
              Loads all members of static archive libraries.  This option does
              not apply to dynamic shared libraries.

  Dunno about the dynamic symbols thing, but if you read that man page, you
should be able to work it out.
