https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273336#c0 describes the
advantages of #pragma visibility over -fvisibility=hidden (at least
on Linux; from bsmedberg's post it sounds like it doesn't make a
difference on Mac).

(That patch was later conditioned on configure tests in bugs 293438
and 307168 to work around compiler bugs; this is the configure test
you're observing.)
