There is no implicit guarantee. It happens some times that you reference
another symbol that is new enough that it works and your library is
then subsequently dependent on the newer glibc, but there is no guarantee.
To add a guarantee you have to weave into your macros a reference to
a new dummy symbol with the right version.
