There are two policy to what symbols should be written:
1) not visible symbols should not be written in final config.out
2) all symbols should be written.
CML1 use policy 1). CML2 actually seem to use also 1),
but with few exceptions (previously visible symbols,...),
but it is not clear what is the right behaviour.
What policy we should adopt?
The second proposal (which I don't like), seems to be simpler
and cleaner, and with kbuild-2.5 it should be no problem with
extra symbols set to 'no'.
Could we move to the second proposal?
