Thanks, I figured it out a few minutes after posting my question.

Maybe there should be a fix in readelf/objdump so that it is more 
obvious to the end-user?

Anyway, my original problem is that I am having a look at the mixed-app 
test (arm-none-eabi or arm-gnueabi-linux), where I observe that 
lib_func2 is not of type STT_ARM_TFUNC, while I would expect 
elf32_arm_swap_symbol_in to have set that flag. Using readelf on 
mixed-lib.o says:
     10: 00000021     2 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 lib_func2

What's wrong?

Christophe.
