These days rpm installs most libs stripped of their symbols, which is fine as it makes them smaller and presumably load faster.

But how does the linker resolve symbols against stripped libs? And if the linker can do it, why can't /usr/bin/nm ?

Remind me why we don't make the useful behaviour for nm the default.
