I'm confused. The version bum is to account for the lack of weak symbol support for __error in the a.out libraries only. The ELF code does not need a version bum; in fact, one should reasoanbly expect the ELF code to either match the vendor version numbers, for code on a vendor branch, or one would expect the version to be 1.0.
