Comment 1 for bug 225741

Furthermore this will cause building from source to fail if used in ld calls.
See for instance ulogd:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ulogd/1.24-2/+build/592877

/usr/bin/mysql_config --libs reports -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient

And the build fails with:

ld -shared -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -o ulogd_MYSQL.so ulogd_MYSQL_sh.o -lc
ld: unrecognized option '-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions'
ld: use the --help option for usage information
