* include/shlib-compat.h (SHLIB_COMPAT): Take a third argument, indicating the first version set to obsolete the conditionalized code. * scripts/abi-versions.awk: For subsumed versions, make ABI_* defn's rhs be the ABI_* macro for the subsuming version. Assign increasing integer values to the ABI_* macros for supported versions.

+ symbols like `ABI_libm_GLIBC_2_0' for each version set in the source
+ code for each library. For a version set that is subsumed by a later
+ version set, the definition gives the subsuming set, i.e. if GLIBC_2_0

+ Each version set that is to be distinctly defined in the output has an
+ unique positive integer value, increasing with newer versions. Thus,
+ evaluating two ABI_* symbols reduces to integer values that differ only
+ when the two version sets named are in fact two different ABIs we are
+ supporting. If these do not differ, then there is no need to compile in
+ extra code to support this version set where it has been superseded by a
+ newer version. The compatibility code should be conditionalized with
+ e.g. `#if SHLIB_COMPAT (libm, GLIBC_2_0, GLIBC_2_2)' for code introduced
+ in the GLIBC_2.0 version and obsoleted in the GLIBC_2.2 version. */
