STO_MIPS16 and STO_MICROMIPS flags denote that the symbol use a different "compressed" instructions encoding. Both these flags can be combined with usual "visibility" flags. It looks like adding new flag into the contentTypes set might solve the problem. Thanks for the idea. I try to implement it. On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 6:52 PM, Shankar Easwaran <shankare at
