What about making libthr.so be .0 then on sparc64?  That's what you would have 
to do if you wanted to maintain symmetry (because sparc64 didn't have a 
libthr, just a libpthread and a libkse).  Given all that, I actually find it 
far less confusing to call them libkse.so.3 and libthr.so.3 (or 2 or 
whatever) and just symlinking libpthread to the default one.  If we 
eventually remove the non-default one then the default one can become 
libpthread.so.3 instead of being a symlink.
