Why do you need to use the visibility mechanism specifically?  From my
understanding, it sounds like you can use -Bsymbolic.

It would be sort-of nice to do this at the compiler level, so that the programmer doesn't have to specify a linker option. And a finer granularity to control this feature might make sense in some cases.
