There are random crashes and hangups, seen in libQtCore (QT4) as mentioned
in the binutils bugs as well, the reason is that
gold ignores all other symbols except specified in --dynamic-list which
is different in behavior as compared to bfd linker. The patch is a
backport from upstream master. This patch implements the bfd linker's
behaviour into gold.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix --dynamic-list so that symbols not in the list are still
+ exported.
+
+In PR 13577, the complaint was that -Bsymbolic was overriding the binding
+behavior for symbols listed in the --dynamic-list by setting the DT_SYMBOLIC
+tag in the dynamic table. In reading the Gnu ld manual, I decided that
+--dynamic-list should be mutually exclusive of -Bsymbolic, and modified
+gold so that --dynamic-list would treat symbols listed as preemptible,
+and all other symbols as internally bound. I was wrong.
+
+PR 16992 shows that with --dynamic-list (and not -Bsymbolic), a symbol
+not listed in the dynamic list is being internally bound within the
+shared library, but because it's still in the dynamic symbol table, we
+expose it to a COPY relocation, and things go really bad from there.
+
+(I can reproduce the same failure, simply by turning on -Bsymbolic-functions
+with the Gnu linker. Even though the symbol is bound internally, it's
+still exported to the dynamic symbol table, and is exposed to a COPY
+relocation.)
+
+I've backed out part of the fix for PR 13577, and -Bsymbolic (or
+-Bsymbolic-functions) can now be used with --dynamic-list, but if the
+two are used together, we do not set DT_SYMBOLIC or DF_SYMBOLIC
+(this matches Gnu ld behavior). We now treat symbols listed in the
+dynamic list as premptible, but we do not automatically treat symbols
+not listed there as non-premptible.
