Bug Description

'make abi-check' fails to detect symbol version changes that break the ABI.

Like most people I assumed bug 1617865 occurred due to a simple mistake like us releasing Mir 0.24.0 without checking for ABI breaks.

Well, now I've compared 0.23, 0.24 and trunk, and even tried making similar breaks. And in all cases 'make abi-check' has failed to detect the break (symbols keep the same name but change version stanzas).
