armlink: symdefs generation

Hi all,

I use ARM linker, ADS1.2 [Build 848].
I found some strangeness with generation of the Symbol Definitions file.
So, what I do, step by step (with CodeWarrior):

1. Project->Remove Object Code
2. Make
The symdefs file is created, and 89 global symbols are written to the symdefs file.
After that I repeat:
3. Project->Remove Object Code (symdefs file is not deleted automatically).
4. Make
The symdefs file is rebuilt, but only 67 global symbols have been remained in the symdefs file.

As I change nothing, just rebuild the project, I expect that the number of global symbols must not be changed, and as a result the symdefs file should be identical to the previously created.

Please, could somebody explain me where I am wrong? And, what do I have to do to avoid this problem?

Thank you,
Alexandre.
