Subject[PATCH v4 15/27] compiler: Option to default to hidden symbols
Date
Provide an option to default visibility to hidden except for key
symbols. This option is disabled by default and will be used by x86_64
PIE support to remove errors between compilation units.

The default visibility is also enabled for external symbols that are
compared as they maybe equals (start/end of sections). In this case,
older versions of GCC will remove the comparison if the symbols are
hidden. This issue exists at least on gcc 4.9 and before.
