[Bug c/13856] New: hidden support broken with builtin functions

[aj at gcc dot gnu dot org]

With current GCC 3.4 I cannot build glibc anymore, it fails with:
/builds/glibc/3.4/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__GI_strncmp'
/builds/glibc/3.4/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__GI_strftime'
/builds/glibc/3.4/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__GI_fputs_unlocked'
/builds/glibc/3.4/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__GI_fwrite_unlocked'
/builds/glibc/3.4/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__GI_memmove'
/builds/glibc/3.4/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__GI_strncpy'
/builds/glibc/3.4/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__GI__exit'
/builds/glibc/3.4/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__GI_strstr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Let's look at fputs_unlocked:

The 3.3 branch compiles the file to use the following symbols:

$ nm libio/iofputs_u.os
                 U _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
0000000000000000 T __GI_fputs_unlocked
0000000000000000 T fputs_unlocked
                 U strlen

3.4 compiles to:
$ nm libio/iofputs_u.os
                 U __GI_fputs_unlocked
                 U __GI_strlen
0000000000000000 T fputs_unlocked


Looking further into this, I see the following difference between 3.4
and 3.3 in the assembler files:

3.3 branch outputs:
        .globl fputs_unlocked ; .set fputs_unlocked, __GI_fputs_unlocked
#NO_APP
        .p2align 4,,15
.globl __GI_fputs_unlocked
        .hidden __GI_fputs_unlocked
        .type   __GI_fputs_unlocked, @function
__GI_fputs_unlocked:

But 3.4 does:
        .globl fputs_unlocked ; .set fputs_unlocked, __GI_fputs_unlocked
#NO_APP
        .p2align 4,,15
.globl fputs_unlocked
        .type   fputs_unlocked, @function
fputs_unlocked:

I'm appending a small test program for this.

Looking at the produced assembler files, you'll see the difference directly.
