+Subject: [PATCH] Drop the X11 symbols from the version script without X11
+
+When the X11 backend is disabled, the frame_x11_* functions are not
+built, and linkers that check the version script, like lld, fail with:
+
+  error: version script assignment of 'FRAME_2.2' to symbol 'frame_x11_new' failed: symbol not defined
+
+Generate a version script without them in that case.
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
+Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <khem.raj@oss.qualcomm.com>
