I am not sure how multiple slotting will work after this change. Maybe,
it'd be better to make use of a version script  suggested at
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43452. But I am not familiar with
this package enough to create a version script for
each installed shared library.

Thanks,

But won't this change how *other* packages can be confused with multiple
slots of sys-libs/db installed at the same time?

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] sys-libs/db: Remove --default-symver usage.

2019-09-27 Thread Manoj Gupta 
sys-libs/db-18.1.32 can builds without "--default-symver"
linker flag. This fixes the build issue when using LLD linker
which does not support this flag.

Given that sys-libs/db is the only Gentoo package using
"--default-symver" linker, it is probably not a terrible idea to
drop use of "--default-symver" flag.
