I did a bit of search and replace using sed and implemented this approach.
Patch 0002 now uses a regex and patch 0003 updates the sources to
replace all occurences of private nm_* functions with __nm_*.
I didn't change (private) functions, which don't start with a nm_
prefix, like the crypto_* ones.
Patch 0004 finally fixes the test-crypto compilation (instead of
removing it).
Dan, if you prefer to list all exported symbols explicitly in the
version script, we could use patch 0002 from my last email, instead of
the attached one.
Cheers,
Michael
