I would appreciate that. Also, if you could contact people actually
involved with the visibility stuff, we are really in trouble for lack of
maintainers: that's whay I'm so scared by the prospect of punting until
we have also an extension to namespaces... :(

100% right. What I want to do is preparing a clean v3-specific testcase,
xfaild for now, that would pass only with the series of three patches
mentioned here, for example:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-05/msg02042.html

applied. Will commit the v3 changes *only* together with the testcase.
