WRT the patch that Nix posted a few of months ago to allow symbols to
be exported using GNU ld linker scripts: I have been using this
without problems since the patch was posted.  (I'm using
i686-pc-linux-gnu with GCC 3.3)

Without the patch, -export-symbols does not cause the symbols to be
exported (all symbols are always exported).  I would find this very
handy as part of libtool, since the current behaviour is not at all
useful.
