[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59680] Hide symbols from gnulib from exported symbols in liboctave

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #59680 (project octave):

I don't think building gnulib dynamically is what is intended.  gnulib works
around broken libc libraries by using your compiler to compile in a statically
linked, working copy of the library function.  The point is that they are not
a substitute for the entire libc, just small portions of it, and hence there
is no dynamic gnulib made as a full replacement for libc.

But, exporting fewer symbols is always a good idea and that could be a goal to
reduce the number to just the symbols we have compiled replacements for.
