Oh, it is *very* useful when not using versioned symbols. It's just that it
gets far more difficult to have namespace clashes when using versioned
symbols (as long as the versioning ALSO has the library name as a prefix, I
suppose -- glibc does it this way), so -Bsymbolic is less necessary then.

Some tricks using LD_PRELOAD *might* just require that. Well, since we will
NOT be compiling libc with -Bsymbolic (eek!), this is less of an issue.

Indeed.
