I suspect that the only way to `migrate' libcs would be a big bang with interface back-compatibility (which is, of course, exactly how glibc upgrades work). Nothing else works because of the presence of critical global data structures whose format must be understood by everything that accesses them (I'm thinking mostly of malloc() and free() here, but the exception unwinder is another example, which is why libgcc_s.so exists at all as opposed to just libgcc.a).
