I tried --enable-ld-version-script on RHEL4 where the toolchain is older and
more mature than that in FC4+. It succeeds in allowing openoffice.org to run
(which relies on compat-libstdc++ 3.3 instead of the native 3.4 of RHEL4.
Unfortunately it fails to fix acroread.

According to Su Zhe, acroread has internal symbol conflicts where even
--enable-ld-version-script is unable to fix conflicts. acroread crashes when
you launch it with environment variables disabled but with scim installed. I
suspect this is because it is loading gtk+, which loads the immodule into memory.

Jens mentioned that XIM should still work, but this is doubtful given the above.
