ok, one more question. if i use -fvisibility=hidden and mark _Z1fv
with default visbility, the linker removes unused section .text._ZN1X1fEv
as expected but in lib2.so i still see a undefined symbol _Z1hv

$ readelf -sW lib2.so |c++filt
(...)
     6: 00000000000005a4    14 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 f()
(...)
     9: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND h()
(...)

_Z1hv is unreferenced and undefined in lib2.so,
so this looks like an missed optimization bug.
