Thank you!

Now I can use "objdump -t ippcore.lib" and I get something like this:

ippcore.dll:     file format pei-i386

SYMBOL TABLE:
[  0](sec  0)(fl 0x00)(ty   0)(scl   3) (nx 0) 0x00000000 .idata$4

[  6](sec  0)(fl 0x00)(ty   0)(scl   2) (nx 0) 0x00000000 
__IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR_ippcore


When I use "objdump -t libippcore.a" I get:
In archive libippcore.a:

But this can be because probably "libippcore.a" is for Linux 64 ...
