Automake doesn't know how to build .so files.  This is
too much platform-dependent, that's why libtool exits.
Besides, the _LIBRARIES primary supports only static libraries
for now.

Since you don't want to use libtool, remove this lib_LIBRARIES
definition and write your own rule to build libSomeLib.so on
your system.
