--- Comment #1 from H.J. Lu <hjl.tools at gmail dot com> ---
This behavior is expected.  When linker first checks foo.o in
libbar.a, foo is defined in libfoo.so.  Linker decides not to pull
in foo.o.  Then linker pulls in xxx.o in libbar.a to resolve
reference to xxx, which leads to bar.o in libbar.a pulled in
for bar.o and results in turning foo into hidden.  Linker won't
rescan libbar.a for foo.  You should use

# gcc -o main main.o libbar.a libfoo.so libbar.a -Wl,-R.
