People just want it do things it was not intended for. soname purely reflects the API, there should be other means of distinguishing the ABI (If I understand the gcc development correctly, that's tha main problem they're trying to figure out in current development. Versioned symbols are not the thing, though, afaics they, too, are only related to the ABI). cheers -- vbi -- get my gpg key here: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/92082481
