Hello,
I am not completely, totally sure but I do not think
constructor/deconstructor need to be exported, making these private
symbols (p11_kit_fini -> _p11_kit_fini / p11_kit_init ->
_p11_kit_init) seems to work for me. Could you please doublecheck and
comment? (I am out of my depth.)
thanks, cu andreas
