Redefining dynamic symbols

[Ted Lyngmo]

Hi!

As far as I know, redefining dynamic symbols (in .so files: "ELF 64-bit 
LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not 
stripped") can't be done with the tools in binutils (for example using 
"objcopy --redefine-sym ..." directly or in combination with other 
binutil tools).

Is this limitation documented somewhere? If not, can someone who's been 
involved in the development please shed some light on this? Am I correct 
in my assumption that it can't be done?

Bonus for giving some hints of the obstacles one would face trying to 
implement this feature :-)

Kind regards,
Ted Lyngmo
