>Why are the libraries compiled without versioning?

Historical reasons.  When the NetWinder guys started out, the ARM tools didn't 
support versioning properly.  Although Jim Pick later fixed this and it's now 
fine, the NetWinder images kept using --disable-versioning to maintain binary 
compatibility with the systems that were in the field.

The Titan and Debian distributions both use versioned libraries.

You can try, but there is quite a large risk that not all programs will go on 
working if you do.  It would probably be better to relink your application, or 
if this is not an option install a versioned glibc in some special place where 
only your application will find it.
