@vis_hide@ is some external stuff that passes in all function names or
so. the makefile has some logic depending on --disable-shared to either
set vis_hide to all functions (@vis_hide@), or to nothing at all.
this patch here just sets vis_hide to them all unconditionally

you can just build libc.so with the new compiler and if it has any
undefined symbols in it, it's broken (readelf -a)
a broken libc.so has stuff like this
2: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND __muldc3
3: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND __mulsc3
4: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND __mulxc3
