Re: [libbfd] Mach-O format support ?

Hi,

How about "nm" for universal binary?

If I execute "nm" of latest binutils (downloaded from CVS)
and try for universal binary archive (/usr/lib/libwrap.a)
on Mac OS X, "nm" complains as:

$ ./nm-new /usr/lib/libwrap.a 
./nm-new: /usr/lib/libwrap.a:i386: File format not recognized
./nm-new: /usr/lib/libwrap.a:powerpc:common: File format not recognized

Nothing to say, "objdump -f" works well as you replied.

Regards,
mpsuzuki
