How are the symbols from libarray.la exported, and can't we do the same for the symbols in libgnu.la?

OCTAVE_API macro.

 

It seems to me that the solution is to also export the symbols from libgnu.la instead of linking it to multiple other libraries.

Given that liboctinterp, liboctgui and all dldfcn files are using the headers from gnulib, I don't see a big conceptual problem in also linking those with libgnu.la, which is a static/private/convenience library.
