This issue at hand was that some (non-GNU) linkers don't understand the option if passed with '-Wl,--export-dynamic' (as it is now in current trunk [1]) -- the question whether the linker option is required at all was raised in the linked mailing list thread [2], unfortunately no one commented there.
