Indeed, all of my code just uses pairs of:

#pragma GCC visibility push(hidden)
#pragma GCC visibility pop

unconditionally.  Non-GCC compilers just ignore the pragmata (and then
hopefully some of the same effect, although not the performance gains, are
imposed by either symbol versioning or by libtool export lists, depending
on what's available).
