Ah yes, but looking at the X config files here's what I
see for Linux/ELF
@SONAME=`echo $@ | sed 's/\.[^\.]*$$//'`; set -x; \
(cd down; $(CC) -o up/$@~ $(SHLIBLDFLAGS) -Wl,-soname,$$SONAME \
solist $(REQUIREDLIBS) BaseShLibReqs); \
$(RM) $$SONAME; $(LN) $@ $$SONAME; \
LinkBuildSonameLibrary($$SONAME)
So it appears that they have taken a similar approach to
the one we have adopted for our system libraries; lop off
the minor number when building the library, installing it
as libfoo.so.maj.min, and then creating the symlink from
there. That's two symlinks and one lib. Right or wrong
it is different. I don't know how NetBSD is doing it
since they are using the same bsdLib.rules file that we
are and without some patching it ain't up to the task. :)
