"objdump" dumps unversioned symbols in versioned shared object as having
version "Base".
Can be ambiguous (e.g. with symbol having version with explicit name
"Base").
I can write a patch that will cause objdump output unassigned version as
"*BASE*" (similarly to "*ABS*" and "*UND*" section names); including
testsuite. Should I? Or would it be too incompatible change?

Yes please do. But please remember to check the patch by running the ld, binutils and gas
testsuites, looking for regressions.

The easiest way around that is to add a command line option to control the choice of name.
Cheers
