That's what i do, and it works with mklibs.sh, but not with mklibs.py

The difference is probably that the python version uses readelf to find 
undefined symbols in executables, whereas the shell one uses objdump :
in mklibs.py, we use "readelf -s" to get the list of all symbols, and then 
stripped out some kind of symbol, between these symbols you can find the 
"NOTYPE" ones.
The missing symbols are from this "NOTYPE" type in libipt*.so

I tried to suppress this filter, but it creates errors at some other point.

The solution is probably to copy the objdump routine of mklibs.sh into 
mklibs.py, i will try it later.

Btw, I'm not familiar with python, so, is there a good place where I can 
find a guide to this scripting language ?


Thanks,
