For `nm -o libX*.a', GNU nm produces output like

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
libX11.a:

Context.o:
Context.o:00000000 t _ResizeTable
Context.o:000002e4 T _XDeleteContext
Context.o:00000260 T _XFindContext
Context.o:00000138 T _XSaveContext
Context.o:000000cc t __XFreeContextDB
Context.o:         U _calloc
Context.o:         U _free
Context.o:         U _malloc
Context.o:00000000 t gcc2_compiled.

Depths.o:
Depths.o:00000000 T _XListDepths
...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

whereas Sun's nm gives

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
libX11.a:
libX11.a:Context.o:00000000 t _ResizeTable
libX11.a:Context.o:000002e4 T _XDeleteContext
libX11.a:Context.o:00000260 T _XFindContext
libX11.a:Context.o:00000138 T _XSaveContext
libX11.a:Context.o:000000cc t __XFreeContextDB
libX11.a:Context.o:         U _calloc
libX11.a:Context.o:         U _free
libX11.a:Context.o:         U _malloc
libX11.a:Context.o:00000000 t gcc2_compiled.
libX11.a:Depths.o:00000000 T _XListDepths
...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I find the latter behaviour far superior.  My normal use of -o is for grepping
for a symbol, and if the output doesn't contain the filename, I'm no better
off.

Cheers,

Rob
