Merge #1105: Don't export symbols in static libraries
6f6cab9 abi: Don't export symbols in static Windows libraries (Cory Fields) Pull request description: For context, Bitcoin Core has recently merged [libbitcoin-kernel](bitcoin/bitcoin#24322), a small library that intends to eventually minimally encompass Core's validation engine. This kernel lib includes a static libsecp256k1. Without this change, because libsecp256k1.a ends up with exported symbols, we end up with libsecp256k1 symbols exported by our libbitcoin-kernel library (which causes unrelated problems not worth getting into here). libtool takes care of building both object versions, and it automatically builds objects for shared libs with -DDLL_EXPORT. We just need to opt-in to its functionality. I can't imagine this having any negative impact on any current statically-linking applications, if anything they'll just be a tiny bit smaller because they can now strip unused symbols. ACKs for top commit: real-or-random: utACK 6f6cab9 theuni: > Not sure what other changes made compilation on CI fail but Concept ACK [6f6cab9](6f6cab9). This should be entirely harmless. sipa: utACK 6f6cab9 laanwj: utACK 6f6cab9 Tree-SHA512: 39f240046639738f7a8c01068e728b2f9ceac2754cc4b0a5fa46c28f6f57a8c4124653b56dfbf5c13106b07c11ac599cc41b508e16862d539ce1af6c3365a205
