The default setting exists in gcc so that one might override the
"default" (ahem) setting with a command-line option. Eg.
-fvisibility=hidden
would mark all symbols hidden unless overridden by an attribute
on the actual decl. The command-line switch never got implemented,
unfortunately.
I agree with Geoff that conflicting attributes for a given decl
ought to generate an error.
