For what it's worth Apple's linker has -exported_symbols_list which can be used for similar purposes, however you can't do it by versions and anything that isn't listed is not exported. There is also a -unexported_symbols_list. OS X man page for ld is here: |

Mac OS X's linker is derived from LLVM, not GNU binutils, and it does not support
--version-script.This commit disables that option for
APPLE. There are some possible problems with this:APPLEfor all versions of Mac OS. I have no idea what toolchains exist on Mac OS 9 or earlier, so I have no way of knowing if this is correct.--version-script, there's nothing to restrict which symbols are visible in the resulting libraries.I don't know if either of these are important. That said, I do know that Mac OS X is broken with both the current release and the current master:
