I'm not sure how export would help on Linux.
One of the use cases for export on Linux would be to set the ELF visibility based on it. Emitting all the symbols with default visibility, like we currently do, leads to size and load time problems with large libraries. Big C++ projects are plagued regularly by this (cf. "-fvisibility=hidden").
