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? It's been a long day, and I'm no longer sure I understand whether what you are saying is something different from what I said. Are you saying that even if the user turns on the option to print this for each shared library, we should not print that (or not have the option)? I'm okay with having such an option off by default, but I was asking to display a file name if the option is ON.
