Prior to this change, some symbols would be missing from the yosys executable if built on macOS with LTO. This would break plugins on dlopen. By adding -rdynamic to the linker flags, we can export all symbols even if they're unused due to LTO-enabled inlining or otherwise. You can check the exported symbols by building yosys with LTO on macOS and running objdump --macho --exports-trie yosys.
