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.
