Ok, I did double check. It is even worse.
You cannot "officially" remove any symbol versions, but it does not matter: games must become pure ELF binaries, namely MUST NOT USE main() for the following reason:
A genius at IBM(redhat/sourceware) did break for good the glibc: From glibc 2.34 __libc_start_main symbol has 2 versions, GLIBC_2.2.5 and GLIBC_2.34, it means that any game exe linked against glibc 2.34 won't load on system with glibc below 2.34, if using main().
wow... those guys are msft "grade" in planned obsolescence.
