What do people think about this issue?

As I wrote earlier, the GCC change is plainly wrong and libc++ works
exactly as intended.

I ran into this problem when trying to move a big proprietary code base to
use libc++ on ubuntu linux. It took me a few days until I found this mail
thread.  I have not yet found a proper way to work-around this difference
in behavior between libstdc++ and libc++.

My code base depends on a lot of third party libraries and patching those
with visibility-attributes is beyond the scope of what I can do.

Are there any other options for making libc++ work on linux when using
-fvisibility=hidden?

I'm building llvm/clang/libc++ from head-of-tree.
