Yeah, sounds like fun. Using ld.gold isn't much of a problem these days, 
at least in my experience. Clang works for most things, with the notable 
exception of the Linux kernel. We have trackers for those two:

   gold: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269315
   llvm: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408963

I'm not sure how the tree would react to -fvisibility=hidden.
