Description
This ticket transfers into Trac an issue originally discussed in the Trac system at RT #62010.
In that ticket, Donald Hunter said:
"This patch fixes a problem with gcc 3.4.6 on Linux where -fvisibility=hidden is detected as supported but attribute((visibility("default"))) is not used for PARROT_EXPORT. The setting for export visibility was hard-coded for gcc > 4.0 so I changed it to be a new test based on the detection of support for -fvisibility=hidden
"I created a new file for the config step because it has to happen after config/auto/warnings.pm and there's no other relevant file to put it in."
However, a number of Parrot developers (including myself) were skeptical of the need for a new configuration step as proposed in that RT. Discussion was inconclusive.
infinoid, can you take this ticket?
Thank you very much.
