Hello

.hidden detection now doesn't work on i686-pc-linux-gnu after this commit:-

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2003-09/msg00258.html

One cannot build a proper glibc these days unless gcc is built with .hidden
support. Could this please be fixed (or reverted) ASAP. This is rather critical.

The patch looks wrong. It shouldn't be relying on "$gnu_ld_flag" as this is
associated with passing "--with-gnu-ld" on the command line. One shouldn't have
to pass "--with-gnu-ld" to get .hidden support.

Thanks.
