No. Again, this same scenario has been argued many times over. The current
rules are as good as it gets for those identifiers that are required to be
symbols. If you don't want such symbol to be available, then well, duh
obviously, don't make it available at link time.
Of course calling dlsym() would be cleaner, than what autoconf does, but that
would only work for native builds.
(It's a different story for those "functions" that are *not* required to be
symbols.)
