Thank you!

-x turns on 6 other flags, the only one of which that really matters 
here is -p.  The output is complex enough that I decided to write a 
better parser than a grep call.  Here's my new checkfile script:


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my ($exe, $symbol) = @ARGV;
my $in_cygdll = 0;

die "usage: $0 exename symbol\n" unless length($symbol);
open my $dump, '-|', "objdump -p '$exe'" or die "Can't dump $exe: $!\n";

while (<$dump>) {
    if (m/DLL Name: cygwin1.dll/) {
        $in_cygdll = 1;
    }
    elsif (m/DLL Name: /) {
        last;   # Last cygwin1.dll symbol found; on to another DLL
    }
    elsif ($in_cygdll) {
        my @parts = split;
        if (@parts == 3 and $parts[2] eq $symbol) {
            print "$exe\n";
            last;
        }
    }
}


Run it like before, except that it takes the import name to search for 
as a second parameter now:

    $ find /bin -name \*.exe -exec ./checkfile {} getpwent \;

I don't have my "almost everything" Cygwin install here to run it 
against, so unless someone beats me to it, I won't be posting results 
for many hours at least.
