Right.

Interestingly I tried it with 1.5 and it did work, but if its not meant
to be exported then I won't use it.

GTK+ also does this:

# pkg-config --libs gmodule includes the "export_dynamic" flag,
#  but this flag is only meaningful for executables. For libraries
#  the effect is undefined; what it causes on Linux is that the
#  export list from -export-symbols-regex is ignored and everything
#  is exported
#
# We are using gmodule-no-export now, but I'm leaving the stripping
# code in place for now, since pango and atk still require gmodule.
export SED
export_dynamic=`(./libtool --config; echo eval echo 
\\$export_dynamic_flag_spec) | sh`
if test -n "$export_dynamic"; then
  GDK_PIXBUF_DEP_LIBS=`echo $GDK_PIXBUF_DEP_LIBS | sed -e "s/$export_dynamic//"`
  GDK_PIXBUF_XLIB_DEP_LIBS=`echo $GDK_PIXBUF_XLIB_DEP_LIBS | sed -e 
"s/$export_dynamic//"`
  GDK_DEP_LIBS=`echo $GDK_DEP_LIBS | sed -e "s/$export_dynamic//"`
  GTK_DEP_LIBS=`echo $GTK_DEP_LIBS | sed -e "s/$export_dynamic//"`
fi

I tried just using $export_dynamic_flag_spec in the configure.ac
directly, but that refers to ${wl} which isn't defined by libtool inside
the configure run. :/  Any cunning plans for how this could work with
libtool 2.2?
