In general objcopy has a hodge-podge of options to manipulate object
files. I don't think --keep-global-symbol is out of place in that
hodge-podge. It might be nice to try to regularize the options, if
anybody has any clever scheme for doing so. But in general the
ability to specify that only particular symbols be globally visible
seems reasonable.
