+Subject: [PATCH] Add a linker script to version LLVM symbols
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Summary:
+This patch adds a very simple linker script to version the lib's symbols
+and thus trying to avoid crashes if an application loads two different
+LLVM versions (as long as they do not share data between them).
+
+Note that we deliberately *don't* make LLVM_5.0 depend on LLVM_4.0:
+they're incompatible and the whole point of this patch is
+to tell the linker that.
+
+
+Avoid unexpected crashes when two LLVM versions are used in the same process.
