Splitting object files

[Prof Abimbola Olowofoyeku]

Hi all

Does any one know of any tool that can take an object file containing 
several functions and split it into several object fies, each 
containing a single routine? Or is there a switch that one can pass to 
any of the binutils that will achieve this? Can this be done at all [a] 
with an existing object file, or [b] with source code exporting several 
functions (i.e., emit a separate object file for each exported 
function).

PS: I know that I can create a separate source file for each routine 
and compile each one separately - this is not what I am looking for.

PSS: Please copy replies to me by email, since I don't belong to this 
list.

Thanks.

Best regards, The Chief
