Well, no.  __GI_ prefixes aren't generated for the versioned symbol names.  E.g.


gettimeofday    -       gettimeofday    2       __GI___gettimeofday gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.1 __gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.1


We need to export __gettimeofday, and we use __GI___gettimeofday internally.  So we get stuck having to write the __GI_ prefix by hand.  We do wind up getting a __GI___GI___gettimeofday symbol out of this too.  ;-)
