Yes, the linker notices it when it runs. :-) Existing programs continue to use existing libraries according to ELF versioning rules. Programs linked after the newer library is installed will use the newer library.

Which is all very nice, but does it also work on non-ELF systems such as Darwin/MacOS X?
