My understanding of what elfgcchack.h tries to achieve is to remove
indirect calls (through the PLT) for function calls within the library.
-Bsymbolic just does that:

$ cat test.c
int foo(int a)
{
	return a;
}

int bar(void)
{
	return foo(0);
}
$ gcc -shared -fPIC -o test.so test.c
$ objdump -d test.so  |less
$ objdump -d test.so| grep foo
000003c8 <foo plt>:
000004bc <foo>:
 4dd:   e8 e6 fe ff ff          call   3c8 <foo plt>
$ gcc -Wl,-Bsymbolic -shared -fPIC -o test.so test.c
$ objdump -d test.so| grep foo
0000049c <foo>:
 4bd:   e8 da ff ff ff          call   49c <foo>

-Bsymbolic is supposed to do that for most symbols. -Bsymbolic-functions
is specialized to function calls.
