This is an interesting question. I know Solaris supports versioned symbols. There was an excellent USENIX article on this. I cannot remember reference off the top of my head. This article covered the topic at hand for Solaris and Linux. What other OSes support symbol versioning, and are there libtool/autoconf macros for doign the right thing at link time?

Is this the paper you're thinking about?

I didn't know about this paper but found it searching on usenix.org.

I'll give it a read. Thanks for the reference! (CC'ing reply to the
list so the reference is here in the archive.)
