ranlib misses some symbols

[Michal Konecny]

Dear binutils developers,

Ranlib in binutils-2.14 as well as today's development snapshot does
not include all symbols into the symbol map on the following 18MB
library:

http://www.cs.aston.ac.uk/~konecnym/libHSbase.a

for example, it omits

__stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec


How to reproduce:

On NetBSD 1.6ZK:
------------------------------------------------------------
# ranlib -V
GNU ranlib 2.14 20030612
[...]
# ranlib libHSbase.a
# nm -s libHSbase.a | grep __stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec
         U __stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec
00000000 T __stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec
         U __stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec
------------------------------------------------------------

The same happened with the latest binutils snapshot (040325).

An older version on the same system works ok:
------------------------------------------------------------
# ./ranlib -V
GNU ranlib 2.13
[...]
# ./ranlib libHSbase.a
# nm -s libHSbase.a | grep __stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec
__stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec in ReadPrec__1.o
         U __stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec
00000000 T __stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec
         U __stginit_TextziParserCombinatorsziReadPrec
------------------------------------------------------------


Best regards,

Michal Konecny
