No. That is used to be able to tell apart older and newer versions
of the same library.

Some pointer to a good article on the behaviour and design of the
dynamic linker would be appreciated.

A system without rpath means you have one of the following alternatives:

  * Rename all libraries so that there are no confliciting names. This
    means editing all Makefiles that use those libraries, too.

  * LD_LIBRARY_PATH wrapper scrips for all such programs using such
    libraries.

  * Only support one of the conflicting libraries.

  * Static linking
