DLL Jump?

Hiya,

This is probably a really stupid question, but I have googled and read
man pages and not been able to figure it out:

I've just been reading compat_linux(8).
On the page it says:

          ldd (see also the manual page for
          ldd(1)) will print a list of shared libraries that the program de-
          pends on, in the form <majorname> (<jumpversion>) => <fullname>.

The corresponding sample ldd output looks like this:

          libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.5pl26) => /lib/libc.so.4.6.29

I don't understand what jumpversion and DLL Jump really are. Could
somebody kindly lart me with the cluebat?

Thanks and regards,
