*If* your upstream is on board with this, my understanding is that
the main way to do this is to build with -fvisibility=hidden,
and decorate each intentionally-public class/function/thing
with a macro that (when building with gcc or clang) expands to
__attribute__((__visibility__("hidden"))).
Some upstreams will be doing something similar already, because they are
portable to Windows and need to decorate public symbols with
__declspec(dllexport) on Windows.
