As near as I can tell, gcc should build with visibility support iff
you are using gnu ld.
Since you are running linux, I can't imagine you might be using
anything else. So I suspect a bug somewheres. When you file a bug
report, you should include the output of ld --version, gcc
--version, and uname -a, in addition to the info requested at
gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html .
I suppose you could reconfigure and rebuild gcc, adding --with-gnu-ld
to your configure arguments, but it seems a bug that that should
be necessary on a platform where SFAIK only gnu ld is available.
