I don't believe Debian will use Fedora-style versioning, it's an
incompatible change after all. But they might want to use
"correct-and-compatible" approach with symbol aliases and two versions
per symbol.
Sergei, thanks a lot for both your advices, I'll try that. Anyway, do
you happen to know from scratch how to define two versions for one
symbol in the version script (what is the syntax)? I'm quite lost right
now, but maybe you have experiences with it.
I didn't try it myself. But in the ld info pages they mention that it's
possible. Info pages have an example, but it uses __asm__ and .symver,
not a linker script. I think one can do the same with a linker script.
