[Bug ld/10630] New: Linker generates hidden local symbols

[hjl dot tools at gmail dot com]

address@hidden hidden-5]$ cat foo.c
void
__attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden")))
hidden ()
{
}

void (*foo) () = hidden;
address@hidden hidden-5]$ cat libfoo.map 
{
global:
 *;
local:
 hidden;
};
address@hidden hidden-5]$ make
gcc -B./ -O -g -fPIC -c foo.c
./ld -shared -o libfoo.so --version-script libfoo.map foo.o
readelf -s libfoo.so | grep hidden
    18: 0000000000000218     2 FUNC    LOCAL  HIDDEN    5 hidden

There is no need to generate HIDDEN visibility for local symbols
