Bug#997080: openvdb: FTBFS: help2man: can't get `--help' info from ./debian/tmp/usr/bin/vdb_view

[Written communication is hard]
It should be noticed that I did communicate privately with Tobias and
I mentioned multiple times both issues are linked.
> I was debugging into this, and IMHO this is not a compiler issue, but a packaging problem:
No. I've uploaded 9.1.0-4 so that this is plain obvious there is no
packaging issue. I apologize for the bumpy transition debhelper 11 ->
13. I did not pay attention openvdb was messed up with debhelper >=
13.
> The attached build should be able to proof that.
Thanks for time and work.
> As this is NOT a libstd++ bug, I'm removing the indication that #1001457 blocks this bug.
Yes. It is *exactly* this bug. Although I am not familiar with GCC
internals so the description of the bug may be a bit inaccurate. In
any case, the 9.1.0-4 upload made it extremely clear there is an issue
(I claim this is a 'wrong-code' per GCC bugzilla terminology).
To be extra pedantic, I also included a (commented out) patch in 9.1.0-4:
* https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/openvdb/-/blob/debian/9.1.0-4/debian/patches/gcc_pr_103629.patch
For anyone interested in solving #1001457, you can activate this patch
in the d/p/series file.

I've spent an insane amount of time reducing the (large!) openvdb
codebase into something GCC dev would accept as Problem Report in
bugzilla. I will now give up and simply remove the visibility flag
stuff. openvdb never provided a symbol flag so this should be
acceptable.
