I don't recall details, but we've previously rejected the idea of
trying to use -Bsymbolic widely; apparently it has undesirable
side-effects on some platforms. See commit message for e3d77ea6b
(hopefully there's some detail in the email thread [1]). It sounds
like you're not actually proposing that, but I thought it would be
a good idea to note the hazard here.
Also, IIRC, -Bsymbolic was once frowned upon by packaging policies,
since it prevents use of LD_PRELOAD. I'm not sure what the current
thinking there is, however.
