While the source of this particular confusion appears to have been cleared
up now, we don't have a general solution to this problem. For some time
after H.J. Lu separated libgdbm and others from his libc tree, there used to
be a "keeper of the .so name", who maintained a definite list of shared
library .so numbers. Unfortunately, nobody appears to do so anymore.
Bruce, I think it would be a good thing for the Linux community to have such
a central registry again. Given that 86open already focussing on
interoperability, I think it would be nice if the 86open group were to
organise this (it'll also be useful for 86open's visibility).
Greetings,
