work around libraries with versioned symbols in dynamic linker
this commit does not add versioning support; it merely fixes incorrect
lookups of symbols in libraries that contain versioned symbols.
previously, the version information was completely ignored, and
empirically this seems to have resulted in the oldest version being
chosen, but I am uncertain if that behavior was even reliable.

the new behavior being introduced is to completely ignore symbols
which are marked "hidden" (this seems to be the confusing nomenclature
for non-current-version) when versioning is present. this should solve
all problems related to libraries with symbol versioning as long as
all binaries involved are up-to-date (compatible with the
latest-version symbols), and it's the needed behavior for dlsym under
all circumstances.
