At run-time, symbols which have turned into aliases (since link-time)
can be dealt with. Unfortunately, the reverse is not true: there are
circumstances in which ld inserts the "true" name in its (internal)
symbol tables. Maybe I should fix this.

Meanwhile, would inserting a backwards weak reference help to avoid bumping
the major version number? Eg:

	__weak_reference("_sys_errlist", "__sys_errlist");

If this is in libc, ld.so should be able to redirect to the new definition.
