Ulrich Drepper, in his article on DLLs https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf
(section 2.2.6), criticizes that libtool maps its `--export-symbols' option to GNU linker option `-retain-symbol-file'. Instead, it should use `-version-script'. This seems to be a valid concern. Given that libtool already uses `-version-script' for the Solaris linker, I wonder what are the reasons to not use this code for the GNU linker also.
