Great, thanks.

I don't think is needed or wanted.  This would mean we cannot use the
Versions files since they record the version under which a symbol is
available.

There is nothing wrong with having the version name GLIBC_2.0 even if
the arhitecture was not support in glibc 2.0.  GLIBC_2.0 is just a
name.
