STV_PROTECTED should behave exactly the same as STV_DEFAULT except
that it is not preemptable by another definition.
Before you change it back, please get the current glibc from CVS and
build/check on both ia64 and alpaha. You should run the ELF visibility
test in ld/testsuite also. I have submitted patches to turn it on for
ia64. They should cover most of cases.
