I believe the old library appears to be owned by the new version
because it is "preserved". Once you run the revdep-rebuild command,
everything should link to the new linker name and you should be safe
to remove the old library. See the functions preserve_old_lib{_notify}
in eutils eclass for more details and the "preserve-libs" option for
the FEATURES variable in make.conf.
