The various source files in libstdc++ that use .symver directives were written with the assumption that libtool builds things twice, once without -DPIC for libstdc++.a and once with -DPIC for libstdc++.so.6. The compatibility stuff with symbol versions only belongs to libstdc++.so.6 obviously, otherwise you get the errors you are getting and gold is broken if it doesn't error out on that. Unfortunately the convenience libraries contain solely -DPIC code (-fPIC isn't a big deal, but -DPIC is here), so everything is compiled just once and libstdc++.a (incorrectly) as well as libstdc++.so.6 (correctly) is built with the .symver stuff in the objects.
