18 I am not sure how multiple slotting will work after this change. Maybe,
19 it'd be better to make use of a version script suggested at
20 https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43452. But I am not familiar with
21 this package enough to create a version script for
22 each installed shared library.
