Even a stripped shared library has more symbols than a stripped
executable, because more of the library will be in externally visible
entry points. I agree with Joel - having a message print out for each
shared library is annoying when you have dozens of shared libraries
(common especially on Windows). So how about we print out "(no
debugging symbols for my/binary.exe)" and not print out anything for
shared libraries?
