I figured WITHOUT_SYMVER= hs been useless since 201001.  I am no
longer able to do build worlds with WITHOUT_SYMVER= set in src.conf
on a system with symbol versioning.

I'd love someone to fix that and allow us to build libraries without
all the historic stuff in them.  If we cannot get it back working our
libraries will grow bigger and bigger forever.

If one is building images for clean-state systems that will never run
anything older than the current CURRENT build, there is no need for
the extra size.   Contrary to what people think, memory and direct
attached storage can still be expensive in some environments.

Anyone who understands the system can come up with patches to fix this?
