It's not just older distros. Gentoo has libexpat.so.0 also. libexpat is
version 1.95.7 btw.

Why does the build system link with .1 anyway? Does it have two versions
of libexpat installed and the linker does this automagically or does the
distro package add some patch to expat forcing the name to .1? Gentoo's
expat doesn't seem to have any patches related to this.

So someone should just relink the build system's libexpat with -soname
libexpat.so?
