Right, the `stringTable.o` was already compiled with `-fvisibility=hidden` for example. `-fvisibility=hidden` didn't resolve the duplicate symbol issue with static linking. We ran into the duplicate duplicate symbol linking failure when user code also defines the symbol and statically linked together with hotspot `libjvm.a`.
