Description Xavier Claessens 2018-05-18 14:16:04 UTC 
libgmodule_2_0_la_LDFLAGS has $(G_MODULE_LDFLAGS) which expands to "-Wl,--export-dynamic". I don't think that linker flag makes sense to build a library, as far as I understand it's for building executables. Otoh, it doesn't seems to hurt since it has always been like that.

Since meson doesn't link with that flag, for consistency we should either remove it from Makefile.am or add it in meson.build if we have a reason to.

If you have a reason to keep it, speak now.
