The first gcc release with symbol versioning support was 4.6, and those
symbols are *not* in the 4.6 baselines, consistent across both sparc and
x86. They only started to appear recently due to the code generation
change I've identified. I've no idea why this happened, though.
There seem two ways forward:
* Understand why they appear now, caused by Martin's change, and didn't
before. Perhaps there's a way to make them `go away'...
* Accomodate them in gnu.ver by exporting them @3.4.17 *for Solaris
only*. I can certainly do that, but would rather understand first
what caused their appearance in the first place to avoid them to
appear and disappear willy-nilly.
