Why do you believe it's a toolchain issue? This symbol is something
clearly need, so it should not be removed by the versioning scripts when
building executable.

Looking at codesearch.debian.net, it seems that there are a few packages
exporting it in the versioning script, at least: mplayer, lua (recently
patched), firefox, libspf2, julia and asterisk. Now it seems that
version scripts on executable are not that common, so I don't know if we
can conclude anything from that.
