I'm going to drop cc's on this. It was getting ridiculous....

Here's what I've tested. It seems to work. I just decided to ignore
'@'  and '@@' in symbol bits, and compare on symbol names not "raw" ie
symbol name + version. I think this will be fine.

I would suggest this, and not checking in new baseline files with the
long double bits. At least until we can check these versioning bits
into an actual release. We'll have a lot of compatible symbols when
LDBL active, but no complexity when not.
