Hi,

The elf manpage [2] claims that:

> STV_PROTECTED Not preemptible, not exported.

However the System V gABI [1] claims that:

> A symbol defined in the current component is protected if it is
> visible in other components but not preemptable

Should the manpage read something like:

> STV_PROTECTED Not preemptible but exported.
