Theoretically, it is much better to export only those symbols you (as the upstream) actually intend to. Benefits vary from shortening the exports table to clearly defining the ABI. But if you do that incorrectly, problems may arise, so it may be better to not do that, especially if you are not the upstream. See also http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility -- WBR, wRAR
