-retain-symbols-file question

Hi!

--retain-symbols-file only kills .symtab symbols not present in the list,
but doesn't kill any .dynsym symbols.
Is that the desired behaviour?
E.g. libtool trustfully uses --retain-symbols-file when passed
-export-symbols option.
Or should libtool just create a version script on the fly?
Or should there be a different option, like --retain-dynsyms-file which
would do the same for dynamic symbols?
