Can someone on Linux check to see of -export-dynamic and -Bdynamic do
the same thing?

Thanks.

I am also interested if -Bdynamic is the same as -export-dynamic.

I think they are different. From the man page of ld:

-export-dynamic
When creating an ELF file, add all symbols to the
dynamic symbol table. Normally, the dynamic symbol
table contains only symbols which are used by a dy-
namic object. This option is needed for some uses
of dlopen.

-Bdynamic
Link against dynamic libraries. This is only mean-
ingful on platforms for which shared libraries are
supported. This option is normally the default on
such platforms.

I figured that out as I read some more. Thanks. BSDI mentions
-rdynamic for such uses, but seems to understand -export-dyanamic too,
so I am using that.
