dnl From Bruno Haible.

dnl Tests whether the compiler supports the command-line option
dnl -fvisibility=hidden and the function and variable attributes
dnl __attribute__((__visibility__("hidden"))) and
dnl __attribute__((__visibility__("default"))).
dnl Does *not* test for __visibility__("protected") - which has tricky
dnl semantics (see the 'vismain' test in glibc) and does not exist e.g. on
dnl MacOS X.
dnl Does *not* test for __visibility__("internal") - which has processor
dnl dependent semantics.
dnl Does *not* test for #pragma GCC visibility push(hidden) - which is
dnl "really only recommended for legacy code".
dnl Set the variable CFLAG_VISIBILITY.
dnl Defines and sets the variable HAVE_VISIBILITY.
