+commit 6925adbb45889dc5277b1001e4ff33342c8e0821
+Author: Owen W. Taylor <otaylor@fishsoup.net>
+Date:   Thu Sep 30 17:57:44 2010 -0400
+
+    Add -export-dynamic when compiling with libtool
+    
+    In some cases (such as introspecting a convenience library),
+    we need to dlsym() modules in the binary we compile, so we
+    need to add -export-dynamic to the link line.
