objcopy can't localize dynamic symbols?

[Craig Lawson]

Hi,
  I'm seeing some unexpected behavior in objcopy 2.14 and 2.15 that
naturally I assume is a bug. Is it?
 
  Test case:
    1$ cp /lib/libc-2.3.2.so /tmp
    2$ cd /tmp
    3$ nm -D libc-2.3.2.so | grep gnu_get_libc_release
    00015c40 W gnu_get_libc_release
    4$ objcopy --localize-symbol gnu_get_libc_release libc-2.3.2.so
    5$ nm -D libc-2.3.2.so | grep gnu_get_libc_release
    00015c40 W gnu_get_libc_release
 
  The symbol's status remains a weak global. It should change, right?
I'm guessing the --localize-symbol option works for statically linked
files, but that's not what I need here.
 
Thanks,
Craig.
