It could. There is already some support for it in the Makefiles. I
chose to leave it for the eventual maintainer to add since it has
packaging and support ramifications. BTW, I did the same for libg++.

The -D option is now needed to list the dynamic symbols in a shared
library that can not be stripped. You'll have to ask the binutils
developers why they did this.
