I'm committing the following.
Warnings from configure tests aren't usually checked. gcc's
"visibility attribute not supported in this configuration" warning is
enabled by default so we don't need to add any warning flag except
-Werror.
* configure.ac (bfd_cv_hidden): Run test with -Werror in CFLAGS.
* configure: Regenerate.
