Inline asm code assumes these DECLARE_ASM_ALIGNED declared global
constants are non-preemptive, e.g.

libavcodec/x86/cabac.h
        "lea    "MANGLE(ff_h264_cabac_tables)", %0      \n\t"

On ELF platforms, if -Wl,-Bsymbolic
-Wl,--version-script,libavcodec/libavcodec.ver are removed from the
linker command line, the symbol will be considered preemptive and fail
to link to a DSO:

    ld.lld: error: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 cannot be used against
symbol ff_h264_cabac_tables; recompile with -fPIC

It is better to express the intention explicitly and mark such global
constants hidden (non-preemptive). It also improves portability as no
linker magic is required.

DECLARE_ASM_CONST uses the "static" specifier to indicate internal
linkage. The visibility annotation is unnecessary.

Also remove __clang__ as clang pretends to be gcc 4.2 and defines __GNUC__

Why is it a good idea to remove them from the linker command line?

The word "also" indicates here that this should be an
independent patch.

libavutil/mem.h is a public header so any defines added should have
appropriate prefixes (yes, the existing defines violate this which is
something that should be addressed, but that's a different issue).

Alternatively maybe those macros should be moved to some internal
header because I don't really see any value of having inline asm
support macros public.

Do you have suggestions on the naming? av_declare_hidden?

That would change too many files. I'd rather not do that in this patch.
