You can change visibility of the type used as the template parameter; in the
small example in the Bugzilla, you could write

struct __attribute__((visibility("default"))) S {
};

or with a pragma:

#pragma GCC visibility push(default)
struct S {
};
#pragma GCC visibility pop

If in your actual library such 'struct S' has many members and you want to avoid
making them default-visibility, you could move some of them into a subobject
(which then may have hidden visibility).
