There are basically just hidden_* macros plus wrappers around them to make
things shorter to write and nicer to read.
libc_hidden_* expands to hidden_* for code compiled into
libc.so, empty otherwise, similarly rtld_hidden_* expands to
hidden_* for code compiled into ld.so, similarly libm_hidden_* etc.
There is just one problem - ld.so uses some .os files from libc_pic.a,
but Roland is working on a patch which will make all .os objects going
into ld.so be compiled with -DNOT_IN_libc -DIS_IN_rtld and all objects
going into libc.so without those defines.
