I'm about to add a dynamic linker to a programming environment running
under 4.3bsd (among others).  Before doing it from scratch, I thought
I'd ask whether such a thing might already exist somewhere.  What I want
to do is:

  Given a list of existing entry points in the running binary, import an
object file (*.o) or a ranlib'd library (lib*.a).  Patch up any internal
references, and get a list of external names supplied in the file(s) being
loaded.

So, any ideas?  If not, I'll go ahead and do it myself ...

Thanks in advance,
