I agree with Marcus. At least until it is very clear that not using
dynamic_cast is the only solution to a broken compiler, I am very weary of
“doing what works today”.

From the issue it is not clear to me why you can't fix the symbol
visibility issues, or which of these cases it causing the breakage.
Reading the linked blog post it seems like Apple/Clang is doing the
right thing, and C++ libraries must be careful to use consistent
symbol visibility.
I would be interested in further details on which case or cases are
causing dynamic_cast to fail, and why using consistent symbol
visibility in the interfaces is not feasible/possible.
Thanks,
Marcus
