-X looks rather silly from the man page I looked at. It strips all local
symbols in the input files which start with the letter 'L'. Assuming we
want to be getting rid of stuff, wouldn't -x be better (discard all local
symbols irregardles of their starting letter)?

Or would a large number of symbols start with an 'L' at present? Or did I
miss something?

Confused,
