Yes, interesting...
But i would like to find a non-intrusive method (ideally).
At first the requirement was: you cannot require the executable to be
compile/linked with special options.
I then gave up, and tried to only request a bit of magic in the final LDFLAGS.
Now, i don't want to ask the user to mark individually the symbol
visibility (like you have to do on Windows when building a dll).
Anyway, it's an interesting idea, maybe i can leverage on the linker
script, or the export file, i saw it does accept wild card pattern...
Will have to dig further, thanks for the tip! ;)
