It's always been this way. In principle -fvisibility=protected should
be able to do the same thing on earlier GCC's, but it doesn't work
right. You could also try -fPIE instead of -fPIC; that might work. As
a last resort, -Bsymbolic will work, but it will do too much and will
break any applications that access global vars in libc (like optarg,
environ, etc.).
I thought Rob said he was going to patch -Bsymbolic-functions into his
binutils, but I guess he never did...
