I wonder if we should update Boost.Build instead and set visibility to hidden by default. For libraies that need other visibility we could offer a property.

I'm not experienced with b2 internals but I'd be glad to help with testing/documenting/... this feature. Is there a champion to actually implement it?

https://github.com/boostorg/build/pull/331 I've only tested it on Linux, with gcc and clang. Please, test on other platforms and see if it causes problems.
