This is an interesting example and a useful demonstration of why the image version isn't always that useful. The software build number covers *everything* that goes into the image, but the image version number is just the version of the top-level image recipe. If you bump the version of eglibc your image version won't be increased. There's nothing to stop you doing versioned images but as the version doesn't represent anything beyond the image recipe version it's not as useful as you'd think.
