It is a chain of version definitions. But binaries only save the actual
value of the version and don't depend on the chain, otherwise it won't
be ever able to add version in the middle or drop versions.

Also GLIBC_PRIVATE is only used by glibc itself, so the only source of
problems may the different glibc packages. But I currently see nothing
which may really cause problems here as ld.so is not effected. (See this
as a small part of the upgrade to 2.3.4, with the exception that you
don't break the compatiblity between ld.so and libc.so.6.)
