Linking fails since nightly 1.15.

[NickeZ]

Hey., I don't know if this is the right place to report such an error. I'm writing a simple application but I use a module that uses nightly features and therefore I have to use the nightly compiler (I think).

The following error started happening on my travis build when nightly was bumped from 1.14 to 1.15:

Done. Your build exited with 1.

I am also seeing this building rayon (or, at least, travis is). A quick google search landed me on this page:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1521859/nonrepresentable-section-on-output-error-during-linking-on-linux

which suggests the problem is due to -f visibility=hidden, which reminds me of #37714.

Marking as a regression.

[jonas-schievink]

look like #37786 ?

[alexcrichton]

Thanks for the report @NickeZ! I think this is indeed a dupe of #37786 with the problem described in detail as well as a fix deployed. Hopefully in a few hours we'll have a new nightly which fixes these problems!
