It turns out that it actually might be possible to implement this on
LLVM: The problem is not so much the order of symbols when just
emitting a single LLVM module to a single object file, but that we
also use the LLVM bitcode-level linker, which also has to handle
whatever we are doing in a reasonable way (i.e. the desired semantics
must actually exist in LLVM IR, not just on the target).

In any case, what precise kind of "hidden" are you experimenting with?
STV_HIDDEN? I couldn't quite get things to work here, do you maybe
have an example patch/asm file/…?

Thanks,
David
