+  Provide aliases for several symbols, to support drop-in replacement for
+  MariaDB on Fedora and several derives distributions.
+
+  These distributions redefine several symbols (in a way that is no compatible
+  with either MySQL or MariaDB) and export it from the client library ( as seen
+  e.g from this patch)
+http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/2010-December/537257.html
+
+  MariaDB handles compatibility distribution by providing the same symbols from 
+  the client library if it is built with -DRPM
