There is no need to rm /usr/lib/libc.so.500 - once a new libc is installed,
and the symlink points to it, then libc.so.500 will *never* get linked
against.

Remember, the number in the filename means *nothing*.  There is no less
than or greater than relationship.  We could use 100 digit random numbers
for each bump if we liked.  We could use dates, current time_t, anything.

Cheers,
