This is a peer forum in which we care to ask question and answer them. Your usage of certain words make people more likely to skip your question. Act civilised. If needed, I can give you guidelines how to be civilised. Second, should you have bothered to look a bit around mailinglists, manpages, sources and other documentation you would have noticed that the libc is identified with a version number suffixed at the end of the library name, such as .so.3, but that this version number is only used for special circumstances. In general our libc has been the same since early 4.4 BSD days. Which brings me to the third item, forget everything you think to know and learn with patience. It comes fast this way. Other nitpick: stop wasting space with all those question marks.
