System

Follow-up Comment #1:

Afaict, liboctinterp is not statically linked against hdf5.
However, we are linking with "-Wl,--export-all-symbols". That might be the
reason why all of these symbols (probably not limited to but including the
hdf5 symbols) are exported.

That switch is probably picked up from here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/b3cd6eb1cca5/configure.ac#l2472

The switch was added there a while back with this change:

Does anyone remember why that was added?
Is it worth to try and limit the scope of that switch? Could exporting many
symbols be problematic?
