By default, compilation of Linux shared library modules (*.so files)
exports all symbols. This creates large module files as the export
symbol tables contains too many entries. The correct approach is
export nothing by default and anything that needs to be exported
must be explicitly specified. This is accomplished by the following
steps:
1. In the Makefile, add "-fvisibility=hidden" flag. You can search
for "-fPIC" to find the appropriate place to add the flag. This
hides symbols by default if not explicitly specified otherwise.
2. To declaration of any symbol to be exported, add this attribute:
__attribute__((visibility("default")))
The attribute string can be added using a macro definition. It
should be added right before the return type for functions, or
right after the 'class' or 'struct' keyword for class/struct.

… all symbols which is inefficient, and change was make to do explicit exports. So now some of the symbols become unresolved external symbols and need to be explicitly exported.

Previous the build default to export all symbols, which is inefficient, and a change was made
to do explicit exports. So now some of the symbols become unresolved external symbols and
need to be explicitly exported.
