+Description: Cut down the exported symbols to the minimum
+ Prior to this patch the shared object this library produced was exporting many
+ symbols, some with VERY generic names, that could potentially result in
+ conflicts. This was unintentional. Here I set the default visibility to private
+ and explicitly export ONLY the symbols that need to be public
+Forwarded: yes
