It's interesting that that old ld seems to understand the idea of a
version-script ... I wonder if the syntax for it has changed over time?

Our needs are pretty simple (suppress exporting non-listed symbols)
so it's possible that we could use a more backwards-compatible syntax,
if we can find out what the rules are.
