That is not enough. You also need versioned symbols in all conflicting libraries, i.e. there must be no symbol clash between openssl and gnutls, nor between curl3 linked to openssl and curl3 linked to gnutls. This is important for libs linking against curl3, otherwise they can break any application that links to them and uses curl3 itself. If no libs ever link against curl libs, this is not an issue. sonames are for pre-link-time dependency handling (i.e. to select what to try linking to). During the linkage, versioned symbols (plus some other black magic like weak aliases,etc) are used, and the soname is not even brought into play. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
