I remember talk about a revised version of the gABI changing parts of
the symbol visibility semantics; is that text available?
Because under the current draft text I have, I believe that patch is
incorrect:
# If different visibility attributes are specified for distinct
# references to or definitions of a symbol, the most constraining
# visibility attribute must be propagated to the resolving symbol in
# the linked object.
Is there any code left in binutils that propagates the most
constraining visibility to the resolving symbol?
