Have you used this option successfully with a C++ library? In this case,
libtool creates input for the linker option "-retain-symbols-file"
rather than a version script like it does with C libs. In my tests,
"-retain-symbols-file" only affected static symbols, but didn't touch
the list of dynamic symbols. Which is quite pointless for my use case.
Is this a known bug/misfeature or might I by doing something wrong here?
