I think there are cases of auto-discovery of sonames out there, to emulate what the native toolchain does when you write -lssl. Of course, this completely falls appart in the presence of such soname changes. > That said, I am not sure they are changing all symbol versions in the > new .so.4 file, perhaps they should reset all symbols versions to > 4.0.0? Yeah, if they don't do that, it's going to be really awkward. How set are they on the soname bump? Maybe they'd be open to a review how to avoid it on GNU/Linux? But that could mean they'll end up with different sonames on GNU and musl.
