[SLE] Platform independent way of including all symbols in an archive

Is there a platform independent way of telling ld (via gcc) to include all symbols of an archive regardless if they are referenced or not, when building a shared library. gcc -shared -o libmine.so -Wl,--whole-archive libstuff.a -Wl,--none-whole-archive This is of course does work the same way on Sun, Digital, or HP. One way would be to create a file that references every symbol you want in the library. But I don't want to have to scour the library for this info. Any ideas.
