[PATCH for 6.1] plugins: do not limit exported symbols if modules are active
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 2 years, 9 months ago
On Mac --enable-modules and --enable-plugins are currently incompatible, because the
Apple -Wl,-exported_symbols_list command line options prevents the export of any
symbols needed by the modules.  On x86 -Wl,--dynamic-list does not have this effect,
but only because the -Wl,--export-dynamic option provided by gmodule-2.0.pc overrides
it.  On Apple there is no -Wl,--export-dynamic, because it is the default, and thus
no override.

Either way, when modules are active there is no reason to include the plugin_ldflags.
While at it, avoid the useless -Wl,--export-dynamic when --enable-plugins is
specified but --enable-modules is not; this way, the GNU and Apple configurations
are more similar.
