During compile-time linking (when ld(1) is called), usually the newest version of the library is used (note that libfoo.so is usually a symlink to the newest libfoo.so.*). At runtime, the dynamic linker (rtld(1)) uses the same library version that was used during compilation. If you want a binary to use a different version, you have to recompile it. (Well, there are ways to trick the dynamic linker via libmap.conf and environment variables, but that will break if the libraries in question aren't 100% ABI compatible.)
