The visibility checks in configure make some wrong checks and elf-specific voodoo. With this patch I get "non-external (was a private external)" symbols refs instead of standard external refs which should fix the libxul-mac perf problems, if I'm lucky and the stars align correctly.

Fix visibility hecks, rev 1

These look like the right fixes for the immediate problem of the configure tests, but I'm not clear on what the libxul performance problem is, exactly.

Without this patch, references to "mozilla-internal" symbols were
U __Z12ToNewCStringRK19nsACString_internal

With this patch, they are
u __Z12ToNewCStringRK19nsACString_internal

I do not know for certain that this will help performance, but a little mach-o reading and some intuition says that it will because we are avoiding a name lookup.
Fixed on trunk. I'm going to watch the perf numbers for a while, because they seem to be fluctuating oddly.
