Eek. Yeah, that WOULD be a pain. Any of them in the _* hierarchy?
Still, linker bugs CAN be fixed, and if we can have a roster of the symbols
that must not be versioned, lintian and linda tests added.
For SASL2 2.1.7, I was thinking of versioning like this (idea from
Antti Salmela <asalmela@iki.fi>):
+SASL2_1.7 {
+ global:
+ sasl_*;
+ local:
+ _*;
+};
This won't work with libs that scatter symbols everywhere in the namespace,
but...
