Very true. Again, I don't think any changes need to be made to the
current scheme if binary compatibility isn't broken with glibc
2.1.95. 'libc6.1' has worked for alpha for (soon to be) two releases, so
no need to change what's not broken at this point.
Let's deal with this when binary compatibility is affected by a glibc
release (hopefully never :-P).
