Good idea! Something like the following would be a bit safer as it only
tests for the option on gcc (just in case there's some other compiler out
there where the option --hel means "send the contents of this directory
where the sun don't shine" or something equally unwanted :^) (this
is untested):

       if test "$GCC" = yes ; then
          if $CC --help --verbose 2>&1 | grep fvisibility= > /dev/null ; then
          ...
          else
            AC_MSG_RESULT([no (not supported)])
          fi
       else
          AC_MSG_RESULT([no (not gcc)])
       fi

Either way, if someone finds out how to do this with another compiler this
will all have to change.
