That's not true.  The point of hidden_proto is to avoid a PLT.  That
incidentally means that which name you use doesn't really matter for the
shared libraries.  In the static libraries, there is still the name space
concern to worry about.  So, if this is a C89 function calling a function
that is not in C89, then you need to use the __ name.
