Thanks for the patch.
The behavior looks good.

.symver foo, foo@v1, remove
.globl foo
foo:
   call foo   # R_X86_64_PLT32 foo@v1



I think this can be extended to non-remove one-@ as well.
The unadorned symbol and relocations referencing it just add complexity
to linker internals.

.symver foo, foo@v1
