Except libgcc_s.so.1, none of the other GCC runtime libraries does
that. Changing schemes in the middle is going to be even more confusing
than staying with what we have here. The only other reasonable scheme
is what libgomp.so.1 does, namely naming the versions after the OpenMP
standard they implement.
