The LLVM linker might not support all the same symbol versioning - but
ALSO I don't find what we're doing particularly correct - at least
according to:

   https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf

There doesn't seem to be any case where we would have the symbol appear
in multiple versions without using an alias in the code.  And if the
symbol is changed in an incompatible way, then we've really done the
wrong thing.

Maybe.  I think we probably wrote a bad version.map, but I don't know
the history of these symbols.  David?  Anything?

We need to know if this is also an area where the LLVM linker doesn't
support the same featureset as GNU.
