If you're trying to write portable code, why would you assume that 
__hidden is defined?  It's not defined in glibc, for example, and your 
sample program doesn't compile on Linux:

$ gcc test.c
test.c:4: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before 
‘void’

Do you have a real use case where this issue came up?  The sample isn't 
very convincing as it stands.
