[From bug 336083 commment 7.]

I suspect that on versions of gcc that support class-level visibility, we could make NS_NO_VTABLE be __attribute__((visibility("hidden"))).  That wouldn't be as powerful as what happens on windows, but it would lead to fewer default-visibility symbols, I think -- I've seen default-visibility vtables and similar things.

This would, of course, only be a backstop until the #pragma-visibility stuff works well enough that we use it.  Which also means it should work -- at least if it depends on IMETHOD_VISIBILITY.
