Comment (by Phyx-):

 Yeah, I think we indeed have a problem. `Rts.h` exposes symbols that are
 there so you can load the rts in another program and control it.

 These aren't needed by the runtime linker so I prefer not to have them in
 the symbol list.

 So I think you're right in that we can't really automate this. Not unless
 we add these symbols too, but that costs us a small amount of time at
 runtime for symbols that will likely never be used..

 what do you think @bgamari?
