Here's a new patch that tries to link a DSO and explicitly
exporting its sole function. The patch uses -exported_symbol
for the test instead of -exports_file, but that is equivalent.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS): Test if it is
        possible to use the -exports_file linker option on
        irix with gcc, as the gcc specs file may include
        a -hidden_symbol option that is clashing with the
        -exports_file option.
        See this gcc bugzilla entry for further details:
        http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15288

Cheers,
Peter
