I see more trolling than bug reporting here.

1) Why do you think that symbol versioning is evil?

2) Why do you think that symbol versioning is exclusive to glibc?

3) You can of course think that glibc is evil, but how is it related?

4) Who in their right minds would add glibc-specific code naming it 
ENABLE_SYMVERS_DARWIN_EXPORT (*darwin*)?

5) Can you suggest any better alternative?  We are all ears.

6) Is this whining reporting significant information, for the person 
that wants to fix the bug?
