__visible_on_lto is defined as "__visible" when gcc LTO is turned on
(see later patches), and "static" otherwise. It is needed for top-level
symbols which are referenced in assembly. It is because the assembly and
the symbol can each end up in a different file with gcc LTO. And that
leads to linker errors.

So the symbols have to be visible when gcc LTO is in charge. On the
contrary, they have to be static on non-gcc-LTO builds. Otherwise a
warning about missing declaration occurs.
