I've seen Christian's comment on this in the meantime, but I still think
-Bsymbolic is the better default behaviour — just because a symbol
referenced internally within a shared object happens to be available
already outside of it, that doesn't mean it makes sense to use that
instead in general. Cases where that is really necessary should be
handled explicitly IMHO.
