A patch like this is necessary in any case.  I would write it like this:

  /* If a symbol is not defined locally, we clear the visibility
     field. */
  if ((h->elf_link_hash_flags & ELF_LINK_HASH_DEF_REGULAR) == 0)
    sym.st_other ^= ELF_ST_VISIBILITY (sym.st_other);

Saves an instructions or two.
