I think protected visibility is still broken on x86-64. For function
symbols, it's more convenient to use -fno-semantic-interposition and
rely on LTO to do the heavy lifting. For data symbols, it may be a
better longer term investment to add explicit export lists (maybe even
with symbol versioning), and again rely on LTO to make everything else
hidden.
Thanks,
Florian
