it seems we don't in gbuild; solenv/gbuild/platform/unxgcc.mk sets
-fvisibility=hidden but that file isn't used on Mac.

apparently 92f70c7e11136ca6d4dba529183f20f99d2d0cd2 removed it.

while in dmake it was based off of this, where i don't know if it's true
on Apple GCC:

.IF "$(COMNAME)" == "gcc3" && "$(HAVE_GCC_VISIBILITY_FEATURE)" == "TRUE"

somebody with a Mac should find out whether HAVE_GCC_VISIBILITY_FEATURE
is true there, and if yes, what happens when you add the flag to
solenv/gbuild/platform/unxmacosx.mk.
