Thanks!  The patch looks good, so I'll push it once your FSF copyright
papers have arrived (if I didn't send these off-list, please remind me).

I'm not sure, maybe the 'local: *' is still needed: what if you use a
compiler that doesn't support symbol visibility but supports linker
version scripts?  Then 'local: *' would be useful.  Is there any harm in
keeping it?
