You should be aware that symbol versioning does not do this on solaris.
the notion of a library being able to export symbols with the same name and
different versions pointing at different addresses is a gnu LD extension
(<http://www.linuxshowcase.org/2000/2000papers/papers/browndavid/browndavid_html/>.
section 4.1 discusses the capabilities of sun and gnu LD. section 4.2
explains sun's versioning policy, and why they don't need the
multiple-versions capability: once a function is considered 'public', sun
never changes its function signature)
