PATCH: Support visibility attribute with recent Sun ld

PATCH: Support visibility attribute with recent Sun ld

[Rainer Orth]

Prompted by a thread on the OpenSolaris tools-compilers list about lack of
.hidden support in GCC

	http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/tools-compilers/2008-October/000407.html

I've implemented the following trivial patch to support the visibility
attribute with Sun ld on Solaris 9 and up.  If anyone can devise a proper
test, it may even be enabled on Solaris 8 with the appropriate patch, but
until that time I prefer to err on the side of caution.

I've tested it by a full bootstrap (all languages) on sparc-sun-solaris2.11
with /usr/ccs/bin/as (still running) and i386-pc-solaris2.10 with gas 2.15
(/usr/sfw/bin/gas) and verified that there are no testsuite regressions.
As expected, all visibility tests in the gcc and g++ testsuites (which were
previously UNSUPPORTED) PASS now.

There's one regression in the the 32-bit libjava testsuite:

+FAIL: events output

but that seems spurious: rerunning the testcase manually gives results
different from both the expected output and the previous automatic run.
Here's the difference during the automatic run:

Given this variability, this seems spurious to me and unrelated to the
patch at hand.

Ok for mainline if SPARC testing passes as well?
