[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | GnuTLS static library wrongly exports private symbols (#1703)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

Thank you for forwarding this. I'm afraid the `lib-symbol-visibility` module wouldn't help, as it only works with shared libraries (as documented), where we already make use of a linker version [script](https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/blob/master/lib/libgnutls.map?ref_type=heads) to selectively export symbols.

Afaik we have little control on what symbols are exposed from a static library, though perhaps we could avoid exposing `hash_*` symbols by switching to the [`linkedhash-list`](https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/MODULES.html#module=linkedhash-list), which defines all public symbols with the `gl_` prefix.
