symbols of a library

["Puneet Singhal" <puneet at opussoft dot com>]

HI all
This is kind of offtrack from gcc. Please bear with me.

I am creating libraries using the -G switch.
I get the libraries fine.
It is advised to use the -shared switch. But I get a lot of errors with this
switch.
They are as below:

Text relocation remains                         referenced
    against symbol                  offset      in file

given above is only a part of the errors. The output is voluminous.
Any clues??

Also, is there any tool which gives me the symbols (functions and variable)
that the particular library defines taking as input the .a or .so.

thanks for ur time,
Puneet
