I just came across some documentation claiming that it's possible to do
similar exported-symbol filtering in Linux:
        http://people.redhat.com/%7edrepper/dsohowto.pdf
I'm going to see if I can make that work along the same lines as my
Darwin patch.  If we can get it going on both Linux and Darwin then
I think we'll have critical mass to make the change.
