It's yet another configure bug that .hidden is turned on for the linker: it's
turned on for *all* GNU linkers after a certain date, which doesn't really
matter unless it's turned for the assembler as well.  But turning .hidden on
for the MMIX binutils assembler is kind-of correct, because with non-default
linker options, ELF is produced and thus .hidden is "supported" (which still
doesn't really matter for this static-only linker).
