Stupid question: linking with a symbol under a different name

Suppose I have:
- compiled object file "main.o" with unresolved symbol "symbol1";
- build shared library "libused.so" with exported symbol "symbol2".
Is there way to somehow link program "main" from "main.o", telling it to
use "symbol2" from "libused.so" as "symbol1"?
I tried to play with --defsym=symbol1=symbol2 option of ld, but the
result was unsuccessful.
user@desktop:~/test$ ld -o main main.o --defsym=symbol1=symbol2 libused.so
--defsym:1: unresolvable symbol `symbol2' referenced in expression

ld: main.o(.text+0xa): unresolvable R_X86_64_PLT32 relocation against
symbol `symbol1'
ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on outpu
