That was me, and as far as i suspect that you get a broken gcc if you compile 
gcc on a system with a nptl glibc. Too broken to compile any glibc.

Luckily, i had a working gcc in a other pc's /var/cache/sorcery

Attached a small test file by rycee which uses this visibility attribute.

Note: this is propably not the only problem, i couldn't compile qt either.

How can this be fixed? Eventually we have to use a prerelease snapshot of gcc 
too, if we use one for glibc :-)

#include <stdio.h>

void test() __attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden")));

void test() { puts("blah"); }

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	test();
	return 0;
}
