bcc uses libbpf repo as a submodule. It brings in libbpf source
code and builds everything together to produce shared libraries.
With latest libbpf, I got the following errors:
   /bin/ld: libbcc_bpf.so.0.10.0: version node not found for symbol xsk_umem__create@LIBBPF_0.0.2
   /bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
   collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
   make[2]: *** [src/cc/libbcc_bpf.so.0.10.0] Error 1

In xsk.c, we have
   asm(".symver xsk_umem__create_v0_0_2, xsk_umem__create@LIBBPF_0.0.2");
   asm(".symver xsk_umem__create_v0_0_4, xsk_umem__create@@LIBBPF_0.0.4");
The linker thinks the built is for LIBBPF but cannot find proper version
LIBBPF_0.0.2/4, so emit errors.

I also confirmed that using libbpf.a to produce a shared library also
has issues:
   -bash-4.4$ cat t.c
   extern void *xsk_umem__create;
   void * test() { return xsk_umem__create; }
   -bash-4.4$ gcc -c -fPIC t.c
   -bash-4.4$ gcc -shared t.o libbpf.a -o t.so
   /bin/ld: t.so: version node not found for symbol xsk_umem__create@LIBBPF_0.0.2
   /bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
   collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
   -bash-4.4$

Symbol versioning does happens in commonly used libraries, e.g., elfutils
and glibc. For static libraries, for a versioned symbol, the old definitions
will be ignored, and the symbol will be an alias to the latest definition.
For example, glibc sched_setaffinity is versioned.
   -bash-4.4$ readelf -s /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 | grep sched_setaffinity
      756: 000000000013d3d0    13 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   13 sched_setaffinity@GLIBC_2.3.3
      757: 00000000000e2e70   455 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   13 sched_setaffinity@@GLIBC_2.3.4
     1800: 0000000000000000     0 FILE    LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS sched_setaffinity.c
     4228: 00000000000e2e70   455 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   13 __sched_setaffinity_new
     4648: 000000000013d3d0    13 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   13 __sched_setaffinity_old
     7338: 000000000013d3d0    13 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   13 sched_setaffinity@GLIBC_2
     7380: 00000000000e2e70   455 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   13 sched_setaffinity@@GLIBC_
   -bash-4.4$
For static library, the definition of sched_setaffinity aliases to the new definition.
   -bash-4.4$ readelf -s /usr/lib64/libc.a | grep sched_setaffinity
   File: /usr/lib64/libc.a(sched_setaffinity.o)
      8: 0000000000000000   455 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 __sched_setaffinity_new
     12: 0000000000000000   455 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT    1 sched_setaffinity

For both elfutils and glibc, additional macros are used to control different handling
of symbol versioning w.r.t static and shared libraries.
For elfutils, the macro is SYMBOL_VERSIONING
(https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__sourceware.org_git_-3Fp-3Delfutils.git-3Ba-3Dblob-3Bf-3Dlib_eu-2Dconfig.h&d=DwIBaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=i6WobKxbeG3slzHSIOxTVtYIJw7qjCE6S0spDTKL-J4&m=lV7s1CSfX5oPY4zxhup_-QHSMx1ZM8D9gXO_Gp6-Pn8&s=bMk5AD0YFFhBa-OLG_b9prlfz84bWRZJ6q9yJvBccDE&e= ).
For glibc, the macro is SHARED
(https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__sourceware.org_git_-3Fp-3Dglibc.git-3Ba-3Dblob-3Bf-3Dinclude_shlib-2Dcompat.h-3Bhb-3Drefs_heads_master&d=DwIBaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=i6WobKxbeG3slzHSIOxTVtYIJw7qjCE6S0spDTKL-J4&m=lV7s1CSfX5oPY4zxhup_-QHSMx1ZM8D9gXO_Gp6-Pn8&s=01T03UzAWzowBanzTsGcuAgqg4B3xaOzutKVcyn0kA0&e= )

This patch used SYMBOL_VERSIONING as the macro name as it clearly indicates the
intention. The macro name can be changed later if necessary as it is internal
I actually like SHARED more, because it's really is a generic
indicator of whether we are linking as static or shared library. The
fact that we are using that flag for symbol versioning is specific to
NEW_VERSION/OLD_VERSION macros, but SHARED itself can be later used
for some other static vs shared logic. But it's subjective matter, so
I won't insist.
I am debating myself on SYMBOL_VERSIONING vs. SHARED, and I hope that
we do not expand to other shared library specific flags. But I agree
that SHARED might be better so there will be no changes in the future
if indeed we want to add other shared-library specific flags.

to libbpf. After this patch, the libbpf.a has
   -bash-4.4$ readelf -s libbpf.a | grep xsk_umem__create
      372: 0000000000017145  1190 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 xsk_umem__create_v0_0_4
      405: 0000000000017145  1190 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT    1 xsk_umem__create
      499: 00000000000175eb   103 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 xsk_umem__create_v0_0_2
   -bash-4.4$
No versioned symbols for xsk_umem__create.
The libbpf.a can be used to build a shared library succesfully.
   -bash-4.4$ cat t.c
   extern void *xsk_umem__create;
   void * test() { return xsk_umem__create; }
   -bash-4.4$ gcc -c -fPIC t.c
   -bash-4.4$ gcc -shared t.o libbpf.a -o t.so
   -bash-4.4$
