[Sorry for the shotgun, please note the followup-to or, better, email
 me and I'll pass on any exciting ideas in c.u.p].

Hi,

We have two reasonably large C libraries which do the same job (text
to speech conversion) and which were written by people who talk to
each other. Naturally they share many external symbol names. I'd like
to tie them together to produce a system capable of doing the job
either way.

What would be nice would be some way of producing an object module
which exports only a couple of symbols but which contains the rest of
one of the systems.

Slightly less nice would be some way of persuading the linker to
pretend that all of the symbols in an object file/library had been
changed in some way (eg had a prefix added).

I'd like to avoid having to rewrite the source of either library to
rename things. 

Anyone have any suggestions? 

We're running on Suns using gcc, but I could probably force myself to
deal with the bundled Sun cc. 

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
