Not overwriting the ELF version is probably more "right" than
overwriting it. But this is just a technicality :-)

In short: yes, I don't think you had a choice, other than upgrading the
aout binary.

Try making a directory with aout libraries (say /compat/linux/lib/aout)
and setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to it when you run aout binaries.
