This is because of bug 71507, new fields in struct xcb_xkb_get_map_map_t and
struct xcb_xkb_get_names_value_list_t. Makes sense. -version-info goes from
0:0:0 to 1:0:0

However, I couldn't find anything actually requiring this. Sure, the diff is
ugly, the API was broken by renaming fields of structs, but the ABI itself is
backwards compatible. So it should be enough to change -version-info 0:0:0 into
-version-info 1:1:0 (in other words: the new library is backwards compatible
with the old one).

Sure, that makes sense. Again, from -version-info 0:0:0 to 1:0:0.

Did I miss something? (Disclaimer: I only asked google what to do and found
