It's more like every minor release has an *entirely new* ABI, complete with C preprocessor tricks to add the current version number to every symbol in the library. On a good day this means you can link multiple versions dynamically into your executable. On a bad day this means you absolutely cannot link against some random shared library version, only the specific version your application was compiled with.
