Re: RFC: PATCH: PR middle-end/20218: Can't use __attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden"))) to hide a symbol

This is the first attempt to to fix PR 20218. It keeps a list of
referenced global symbols and outputs non-default visibility at the

You still have not explained why .hidden is needed for object files which
use the hidden functions. It seems to me that this should be fixed up in
binutils while linking where also know if function/variable is hidden.
