   The one with `@@' will resolve references to symbols with the same
   verison or without any version. The one with `@' will only resolve
   references to symbols with the same verison. There 2 different cases
   for the one with `@' like foo@ver1:

   1. ld.so will resolve references to foo with version ver1. You can
   image those references look like foo@ver1 or foo@@ver1.
   2. ld will only resolve references to foo@ver1.

As far as I am concerned, this discussion is at the wrong level.  You
are talking about textual string matching.  You should be talking
about what it means.  Try writing this in a meaningful way without
using the character @; after all, the @ character is, or should be, an
irrelevant implementation detail.
