Description Mike Hommey 2009-03-31 10:47:45 PDT 
Considering the public API is all C, we can just filter out all C++ mangled symbols, which will avoid exporting symbols in some corner cases such as gcc bugs on specific architectures, etc.

For instance, http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38643 prevents webkitgtk to build without exporting too many symbols on armel.
