I think we need a follow-up patch which removes the symbols which are now
incompatible from the ABI, so that programs which are broken by this

I have no idea how/where to do this. :) Hints?
You can use the C preprocessor in Versions files, see elf/Versions.
The challenge is to figure out the bits which currently *are* part of
the ABI.
Thanks,
