--- Comment #2 from Alexander Monakov <amonakov at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
In the future please consider making reports more concise and to the point.
> $ gcc -fvisibility=hidden -shared bar.c ./libfoo.a -o libbar.so
Here a good solution is to ensure libfoo's symbols have hidden visibility in
the first place, not have the linker downgrade it.
I agree the documentation could be improved with examples to better showcase
good practices.

Please no. -fvisiblity= takes 4 different values, and having some of them
implicitly turn on a linker option, but only on gnu-compatible linkers, is
ridiculous. Orthogonal, easy-to-explain options are good.
