Of course I've found all this. The problem, that there is no any hint in
ld/gold man files that version script can manage any exports. And no googling
brought me around version script. 

Something like:

Read version script.
Version script is used for managing symbol export versions for shared libraries
when using ELF.

Similar 1-2 lines notes would be great for other files that ld loads.
