Hi,

Assuming that we had:

Version_1.0 {
	MySymbol64;
};

Version_private_1.0 {
	MySymbol;
};

In the past, but now we have:

Version_1.0 {
	MySymbol;
	MySymbol64;
};

Version_private_1.0 {
};

I think this would cause ABI problem.  The interfaces are the same to
their previous version, though.

Is there a way to "promote" the MySymbol from _private_1.0 interface to
_1.0 safely?

Cheers,
