The attached patch makes gl_VISIBILITY to reject unsupported configurations
with newer gcc: In its current form, mingw gcc-4.5.4 rejects the attributes
but gcc-7.5 does not, apparently because the attributes are applied to func
prototypes without their definitions. Attaching a hidden visibility attrib
to dummyfunc() makes gcc-7.5 to reject it properly.

I don't fully understand why we should apply the patch.
With gcc 7.5 on mingw and the visibility.m4 that is in gnulib now:
What is the result of the
checking for simple visibility declarations...
test? What are the effects: warnings? compilation errors? link errors? too
many exported symbols? too few exported symbols?
Maybe you also have a test case, that you could show?

No warnings from the testcase in m4. In real-life, it results in warnings,
see e.g.: https://github.com/libsndfile/libsamplerate/issues/154

The above bug report should cover it I think. If not, tell me.

OK, I understand better now.
In the GCC source code I see that the
"visibility attribute not supported in this configuration; ignored"
warning is emitted when a definition is emitted. Therefore I think the
safest patch is to add a definition for each declaration in the test code.

Works for me:
configure:13230: checking for simple visibility declarations
configure:13261: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall
-fvisibility=hidden -Werror conftest.c >&5
conftest.c: In function 'hiddenfunc':
conftest.c:37:15: error: visibility attribute not supported in this
configuration; ignored [-Werror=attributes]
int hiddenfunc (void) { return 51; }
^~~
conftest.c: At top level:
conftest.c:47:1: error: visibility attribute not supported in this
configuration; ignored [-Werror=attributes]
}
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
configure:13261: $? = 1
