Created attachment 2618 Add -Bsymbolic-functions to XDT_FEATURE_LINKER_OPTS.
Although removing the visibility checks from several modules makes the whole thing easier to understand, it does increase the PLT overhead a bit. Fortunately recent versions of ld support -Bsymbolic-functions which will decrease PLT overhead of shared libraries.
It works fine here and I think it safe to use (also used by OOo). -Bsymbolic however could result in problems, so better not touch that.
Patch 2618, "Add -Bsymbolic-functions to XDT_FEATURE_LINKER_OPTS.":
