Yes. Previously we were using the NO_HIDDEN hammer, but:

That was already roughly done in 
3d1870fa3301c5cd00d5fdab0014c4e22b71fef2
where we made all rtld_hidden_proto respect NO_RTLD_HIDDEN.

I didn't specifically mark the exactly required functions, but the
localplt check exceptions in sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/localplt.data is
already exactly the list of needed PLTs, so I don't think it's worth
the extra maintenance complexity of special-casing in the headers for
everyone in addition to the rtld implementation in dl-sysdep.c.
