Cool.  What I've done for these is just two symbol versions for the same
entry points.  Old binaries that call the old symbol version will get the
new dwarf_attr_integrate behavior too.  But new binaries can rely on it
when compiled against >= 0.143, and their dependencies will make sure they
require libraries with the new behavior.


Thanks,
Roland
