when libc of glibc-2.3.4 is built staticly as well as dynamicly or in pic the standard modules is built as libc.so with a link to it libc.so.6. the standard and rational practice is to point to the module version with the modules default base name, rather than arbitrarily convene on one. the libc.so is designated specifically when being compiled against. the versionless libc.so is used as a config file by gcc for static or shared instances. the layover assumes traversal of the link and requires the manual implimentation as the real libc is clobbered if does make the career move and a funny link is left in its place.
