Subject: [PATCH] Enable -Bsymbolic-functions linker flag whenever possible
It was discovered fairly recently that JSON parsing libraries use
common pattern to name their exported symbols (they all use
json_ prefix). So eventually it happens that two symbols from two
different libraries have the same name. This will lead to cryptic
crashes (see [1] and [2]). Linking with -Bsymbolic-functions
prevents this.
