AFAICS there is no real reason.  We might want to measure the size impact
on executables, and possibly startup time to know if we could do this
unconditionally or only in special cases.

That having said, I'm not sure that it would help in kview's case at hand.
Because kview the executable is already only a wrapper exe around the
kview.so DSO.  kview itself wouldn't provide those symbols anyway, and the
DSO already does it, with or without -E.


Ciao,
Michael.
