Could you please explain what the entire thing is about? Is it about
hiding some symbols from "nm libshishi.so", for which gcc offers a solution
at source code level (see [1] and gnulib's m4/visibility.m4)? Or is it about
allowing multiple versions of the same symbol to exist in the same shared
library, something which is supported only by glibc and Solaris [2]?
I'm asking because linker scripts only work with GNU ld (I guess).
