I don’t remember if anyone answered you.

A simple way to transform the library into one with private extern  
would be to use ld and -r, -exported_symbol or -exported_symbols_list,  
and -keep_private_externs to make all the symbols private. This would  
eliminate any need to get a new version of the library from someone at  
Apple, and should be quite simple to do. The only thing I don’t know  
is how to say “no exported symbols”, but it could be as simple as - 
exported_symbols_list /dev/null -- you should give it a try.

I believe the problem occurs because the Chromium build uses a  
different method for controlling what’s exported than what we use in  
the standard Mac OS X WebKit build, which uses -exported_symbols_list.
