It's pretty rare to need symbols from a postgres extension shared library from another shared library. The most common case are transforms. To add a new transform one, from what I've seen, needs to expose previously internal stuff from an extension anyway... And transforms aren't all that common. And yes, we can easily just add a few additional exports over time. One nice advantage of this is that the !windows build behaves more similar to the windows case, which makes it easier to detect build breakages locally... Greetings, Andres Freund
