            * config.h.in (NO_HIDDEN): New #undef.
            * include/libc-symbols.h [! NO_HIDDEN]: Add this condition to
            nonempty definitions of hidden_proto et al.
            * configure.in: Grok --disable-hidden-plt to define NO_HIDDEN.
            * configure: Regenerated.
            * sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure.in: Always define NO_HIDDEN.
            * sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure: Regenerated.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27692

Should it be removed?
