Hello Masahiro,

I think this is almost good.
Just a nit.

Maybe, putting this check in secref_whitelist()
(with a comment "Pattern 6:")
could look more consistency.


Also, if you use strstart() helper,
you can remove is_local_symbol() function.


/* Check for pattern 6 */
if (strstarts(fromsym, ".L"))
return 0;


Thank you for your suggestion. This change is a definite improvement. The patch has been updated, and I will repost the patch after it's been tested.

Best regards,
