The code motion looks okay to me.  However:

Exporting the private symbols says the symbols must be available
everywhere...

so you should provide an #else clause with a dummy implementation that
always fails, as well as a dummy:

struct nl_msg;

forward prototype to allow compilation on non-Linux.

at which point this header can be unconditional.

An alternative would be finding a way to only conditionally export
nlComm on Linux, by sticking it in a separate .syms file only when
actually used.
