Because libc is backwards compatible. When they break API/ABI a full rebuild 
is needed. Changing the Qt version behind the scenes is not.

Also cp does not takes care if the SONAME, which is embedded in the file:

$ objdump -x /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQgpsmm.so.23.0.0 | grep SONAME
  SONAME               libQgpsmm.so.23
