-bexpall always seemed to do things a little strange. It doesn't export anything starting with "_", and it does export a few symbols it probably shouldn't. I didn't notice that this caused any errors, but it did generate warnings for duplicate symbols. Because of this, I've avoided using -bexpall when building shared libraries, thought I have occasionally used it to build main programs that need to export symbols to it's shared libraries or loadable objects.
