Hi,

I rebuilt samba with the attached patch, and the number of symbols
exported by libsmbclient went down from more than 4000 to 51.
The patch adds a version script for this lib, which only exports symbols
matching "smbc_*".  I added tentative detection code for the configure
script, which checks the version of GNU ld.  As far as I know, support
for this was added for GNU ld 2.12 (or at least, that's what libtool.m4
seems to check), released in 2002.
I'll attach a complete debdiff, and the actual patch I dropped in
debian/patches.

Cheers,
Julien
