No. That is telling you about the ABI note supplied by glibc's crt1.o.
The absence of the note in a DSO doesn't tell you anything, because crt1.o
is not ordinarily linked into DSOs. When you do have the note, it was
supplied by the glibc that your DSO was compiled against. The note tells
you something about how that glibc was built, but nothing about what
version it was.
