nm reports no symbols

["Kingsley G. Morse Jr." <change@nas.com>]

Does anyone happen to know why the nm command would report "no symbols"?
Here's how I got it...

    $ nm /lib/libreadline.so.2.1
    /lib/libreadline.so.2.1: no symbols

Every other library that I've tried nm with reports "no symbols" also.
I'm using libreadlineg version 2.1-7 and binutils version 2.8.1-2 on
2.0.30.

Thanks,
Kingsley
