      Building with -fvisibility-inlines-hidden results in a significantly faster startup time for a dynamically linked build. It also results in a smaller text segment. However, it is not entirely without consequence: it can mean that the address of inline functions cannot be compared across DSOs. We should undertake to understand whether the consequences are acceptable in light of the performance impact.

      See https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility for more details.
