yes, but there is one BUT why i asked this.  i don't have any GNU/Linux
or Mac OS X/Darwin system to check what they want so if they require it
as well as NetBSD does, i'd like to correct them all at once.  i assume
they all use GNU ld, so it's more effective to exclude SunOS, which uses
own ld, than name all others.  maybe someone with clue can say whether
is it needed for GNU/Linux and/or Mac OS X/Darwin at all?  from manpage
it seems that it is not required on all systems:

       -export-dynamic
              When  creating  an ELF file, add all symbols to the
              dynamic symbol table.  Normally, the dynamic symbol
              table contains only symbols which are used by a dy-
              namic object.  This option is needed for some  uses
              of dlopen.

well, i am not sure because it's not required in all packages, only in
few so it's probably not very useful.

regards,
