This does not work. Example:

xdecrypt()

xdecrypt has in xcrypt.c:
libc_hidden_nolink_sunrpc (xdecrypt, GLIBC_2_1)

In sunrpc/Version it is GLIBC_2.1

On i586 you have xdecrypt@GLIBC_2.1 and you cannot link against
it. But on x86_64, you have xdecrypt@@GLIBC_2.2.5, so you can 
still link against it.
