The GNU documentation is ambiguous about the version index for unversioned undefined symbols. The current specification at https://sourceware.org/gnu-gabi/program-loading-and-dynamic-linking.txt defines VER_NDX_LOCAL (0) as "The symbol is private, and is not available outside this object." However, this naming is misleading for undefined symbols. As suggested in discussions, VER_NDX_LOCAL should conceptually be VER_NDX_NONE and apply to unversioned undefined symbols as well. GNU ld has used index 0 for unversioned undefined symbols both before version 2.35 (see https://sourceware.org/PR26002) and in the upcoming 2.46 release (see https://sourceware.org/PR33577). This change aligns with GNU ld's behavior by switching from index 1 to index 0. While here, add a test to dso-undef-extract-lazy.s that undefined symbols of index 0 in DSO are treated as unversioned symbols.
