Do we have to export _srt labels?

I see. I have read the code and it looks like the srt_bitmap field in
the info table is only inspected for THUNK and FUN closures. So in
theory I could make this work by generating a fresh IND_STATIC info
table for each use site with the appropriate tag filled out.

I'm not sure if this is very satisfactory, even though it would
probably work. We could mark each generated IND_STATIC info table as
non-exported, so it *would* exported reduce symbol count.
