Thanks.  Do you think that it could be feasible (i.e. in a future
NetBSD release) to always use/present the official symbols and have
them mapped transparently by the kernel/compat modules depending on
version information from the ELF header rather than using public
versioned linker names (or was it previously done this way and changed
for a reason)?  I assume (possibly wrongly), that these versioned
symbols are used for binary compatibility?

Thanks again,
