With version 5.0.1 bookmarks are automatically updated when launching the application, which was not the case in the previous versions. Is it possible to avoid that ?

Question

I prefered the previous versions when the bookmarks did not update automatically when launching Firefox

So the question is whether I can somehow coax the linker to give an error
when these symbols are used?I guess you can - with a bit of a hack. You an probably use a map file telling linker to use only version SUNW_1.4.1 (or whatever version your client machines' have). This way you'll get errors about missing definitions up front:
$ cat mapfile
libCstd.so - SUNW_1.1.1 $ADDVERS=SUNW_1.1.1;
$ CC -M mapfile  a.cc
Undefined                       first referenced
symbol                             in file
