Yes, that's it. I remember having the same problem with the addition
of lchflags last month. Maybe the buildworld should do a "make
includes" into the build tree and use those when building libc?
(wouldn't have helped me, as I very rarely build world, but rebuild
libraries and bins manually if I need a new feature)

You only bump the version when an ABI changes or a function disappears,
afaik. We promise backwards compatibility, not forwards. And I don't
think we want to bump versions on -current anyway; 4.* has libc.so.4,
5.0-RELEASE will have .so.5.
