I think this is probably a side effect of the addition of the
"_hidden" attribute (aka `__attribute__((visibility("hidden")))',
defined in libxl_internal.h) to this function ?

Can you explain what the notable differences are between the Linux and
BSD ELF linkers ?  Perhaps the BSD linker does not support this
attribute, in which case we should probably #ifdef it out.

Or perhaps the problem is something else.
