We made a slight adjustment on how exported data symbols should 
be accessed, always through a pointer indirection. Calling 
exported function already works transparently and accessing 
exported TLS variables isn't the most urgent issue.
Given that exported data variables should be rare we're trading a 
tiny implementation change for a no worries export attribute.
