The reason previously installed libraries break is the dependent libraries have hardcoded dependencies on the `*GLOBAL*' symbols used for constructors, destructors and EH exception support (hppa2.0w-hp-hpux* currently has its EH data in the data section). The attached patch fixes the versioning problem. However, we still have a random portion in every `*GLOBAL_F*' symbol. This can easily change from one build to the next. So, I'm thinking we need to bury them in special sections similar to .init_array and .fini_array. However, the dynamic loader doesn't provide direct support for this, so this it's going to take some thinking as to the best way to do this.
