I don't think this will work.  It is hard to downgrade a major number
for libc.so.  At least it used to be.

I don't see why we need only an increment of 1.  What does this buy us
other than a minor warm fuzzy.  OpenBSD bumps libc bunchs of times per
release cycle (they are up to libc.so.24 if my sources are current).
I've not seen it cause problems there.
