* builds/unix/unix-cc.in (LINK_LIBRARY): Use `-export-symbols'. This was commented about 10 years ago – I think the reason then to disable libtool's `-export-symbols' option was to give some badly programmed applications access to internal FreeType functions. I believe that we should no longer take care of such programs; the number of symbols exported should be rather restricted as much as possible.
