No.

Unless you count the document that will be written by you and I in the
future? ;-)

Although the GNU symbol versioning is based on Solaris symbol
versioning it extends it in several ways.

We should work to document this bit-by-bit as much as we can, probably
starting with checking in an internals document in txt under doc/ like
the kernel does.

Cheers,
Carlos.
