Hm, I suppose this is expected. I always hated the idea that libraries could
introduce new symbols without an soname bump but obviously nobody's going to
be interested in an soname bump today...

Just to clarify... You compiled a new program which uses the new
symbols against new headers (otherwise they would have complained during
compilation) and then tried to use that new program with an old library.

If so, then yes, that's expected to break.
