The "downgrade" isn't a problem functionality as the toolchian will be
linked to what ever the .so symlink points to.  Remember that for ELF,
the shared lib "version number" is really just plain text (vs. a.out
rules).  It will confuse the hell out of people, but not the toolchain or
OS.

Does 'portupgrade' really hard code the numerical ordering rule vs.
looking at what the .so symlink pointed to?
