It doesn't matter as much when it's the same version because then it
would have the same soversion and thus it wouldn't cause _visible_
trouble.

It might be interesting to note that it seems like rc4->final also
causes the same problem.

Just for completeness sake, this can usually be fixed/worked around by
making sure to list just-built .la files _before_ the /usr libraries. I
had to work that around on opensc before. PAM also suffers from the same
issue _if_ the .la files are kept around.
