No no no, no no! Version 5+ is ELF and 4- is a.out. The 2 different libraries
are not compatible in any way shape or form.

While this may be possible with only minor version number changes, don't
try it with major version number changes. And don't try it with a.out->ELF
changes. I don't think any harm will come if you try (unless you get the
argument order wrong for ln :-), it just won't work.

Cheers.
