This is something different.  This happens when you link against a
versioned DSO.  Then a reference without version information gets
transformed into a reference with version and a known DSO.  This is
the core of the versioning idea.

With HJ's stuff the symbols come in versioned right away.  The
external reference is already versioned and this is not intended.
