It is normal, just a version bump from libm.so.3 to libm.so.4.

In this particular case, adding 

    libm.so.3       libm.so.4

to /etc/libmap.conf should suffice.  The math library is expected
to conform to the ISO-C standard, so this mapping most likely won't
create any fallout.  In fact, I'm using it right now and I've used
a similiar line for the libm.so.2->libm.so.3 transition in the past.
I'm not aware of any trouble this caused.

 HTH,
Mario
