What I had thought happened was that ld just uses the symbolic link
blindly.  However, I just tried it on my system:

cd /usr/lib
cp libc.so.4 libc.so.4.1
ln -sf libc.so.4.1 libc.so
ldconfig -R
ldconfig -r | grep libc.so.4
        33:-lc.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4

So it does look like it has to be a single number.  Forget what I said
about 5.1 being a viable option.

My OpenBSD box does have minor numbers appended, but they also have
hacks in their ld to cope.
