Hmm, this sounds scary. (I remember Kendy explaining me this years back when
OOo
was ported to x86_64.) More or less everything that is reachable externally
ought to
be annotated with used/externally_visible attributes or the assembly wrappers
has
to be visible at linktime.  Is there some short overview of the machinery?
(or could you explain it somehow? :)
