gcc has flags -Bsymbolic and -Bsymbolic-functions which are documented in the usage message.
$ gcc -v --help 2>&1 | grep symbolic -Bsymbolic Bind global references locally -Bsymbolic-functions Bind global function references locally However, the info pages are incorrect and incomplete. `-symbolic' Bind references to global symbols when building a shared object. Warn about any unresolved references (unless overridden by the link editor option `-Xlinker -z -Xlinker defs'). Only a few systems support this option. In fact, gcc does not appear to support any such flag `-symbolic'. `-symbolic' should probably be changed to `-Bsymbolic'. Also, please add info documentation for `-Bsymbolic-functions'. A motivating example for these options would be nice as well.
