 7.41 '.hidden NAMES'
 ====================
 
 This is one of the ELF visibility directives.  The other two are
DONTPRINTYET  '.internal' ('.internal' Internal.) and '.protected' (*noteDONTPRINTYET  '.internal' ('.internal' Internal.) and '.protected' (
 '.protected' Protected.).
 
    This directive overrides the named symbols default visibility (which
 is set by their binding: local, global or weak).  The directive sets the
 visibility to 'hidden' which means that the symbols are not visible to
 other components.  Such symbols are always considered to be 'protected'
 as well.
