If you are using libtool and automake, it would be:

LDFLAGS = .....  -release @OTHERLIB_NAMES@


and checking other sonames in configure time:

OTHERLIB_NAMES=whatever6-whateverelse3-whateverelse2

However, I don't know of a way to reliably check sonames in 
configure scripts... but reading APT source, for 
rc_LIBSTDCPP_VER, it seems to be possible.
