Subject: libtool 2.4.2 does not hide dynamic symbols on GNU/Linux with -export-symbols

Hi,

I use -export-symbols to specify a list of symbols that should be
exported from the Library. Libtool translates this into a
--retain-symbols-file argument to GNU ld, which does not affect the
dynamic symbol table (see also binutils bug #11650 [1]).

Would it make sense to generate a version script internally in this case?
