I think it has more to do with how rtld works, though I don't
know the details.  You can see that kan made this same exact
change in rev 1.3 of Versions.def.  So in actuality, I backed
kan's change out thinking that I had originally committed it
that way.

FYI, before I commited this change, I looked at how glibc did it.
Their private namespace does not inherit from the GLIBC public
namespace.  But perhaps they have other ways of preventing
exactly what kan is trying to avoid.
