There are lots of examples of this directive being used in the gas and 
linker testsuites.  For example:

   gas/testsuite/gas/elf/symvers.s
   gas/testsuite/gas/symver/symver6.s
   ld/testsuite/ld-elfvers/vers1.c

This last file is probably the best example of the directive in use and 
its affects on ELF executables.
