Yeah.  What about adding a timestamp to them at build-time, and 
sym-linking them back to the default name?  I've got (for instance)

  /sbbs/src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.exe.debug -> gcc.linux.20050101-210142.exe.debug
  /sbbs/src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.lib.debug -> gcc.linux.20050101-210142.lib.debug
  
and all the executables linked too:

  /sbbs/exec/sbbs -> ../src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.exe.debug/sbbs
  /sbbs/exec/sbbsecho -> ../src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.exe.debug/sbbsecho
  
and so on, but I do it manually.  If I do a build and something breaks, I 
just relink back to the previous (or any earlier, working) build.  

Another suggestion for a revision to sbbsunix.txt:

Instead of copying or symlinking libraries into /usr/lib, why not simply 
add them to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig?
