Did you in the past alter the src/Makefile.am ? It has so-major 4 encoded:
libprotobuf_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 4:0:0
but if I try to replace your 2.1 builds with the 2.2 builds I just made I it
is NOT a transparent replacement. So we need a new major number that differs
from upstream. Is that what you did before?
