Whether there is or not a bug in the glibc loader, is not something that should
matter here, IMHO.

We have a documented use case that, ELF side, works exactly as intended, and a
software that tries to use the documented syntax but fails. We also have
Chrom(e|ium)OS going toward a hack (creating an UNVERSIONED version to attach
to those symbols) just to be able to compile it.

>From my point of view, the right choice on the link editor side is to emit the
correct ELF file (rather than stop on a corner case), and then report/track
down the issue on ld.so side to ensure that it links as intended. This avoids
having nasty hacks in place for fuse, and behaves as the documentation says it
should.
