Mark _init/_fini with .hidden?

Subject: Mark _init/_fini with .hidden?

Hi all,

I noticed that any shared library linked with gcc inherits two
publicly visible symbols _init/_fini. My understanding is that this
isn't needed (loader learns their addresses from dedicated entries in
.dynamic section) and just unnecessarily clutters dynamic symtables.
Can this be fixed?

Best regards,
Yury Gribov
