Aside: But is Bitcoin Core a well-suited application for those uses? I cannot imagine someone running a full node on a stateless system. Anyhow: As this is only one symbol, we can probably get rid of it (as we didn't use it in 0.8.6?), or put it behind some #ifdef COMPATIBILITY_BUILD... Another option: Instead of statically building it'd be easy enough to build against the 4.6 Qt headers instead without even swapping the library. Qt is, after all, forward-compatible - between the 4.x versions. This will lose some GUI features but if compatibility is more important here that's a choice that can be made.
