It is fine for master, but not for release branch. On 2.26 branch,  I got

libbfd-2.26.0.20160614.so  libbfd.so                      libopcodes.la
libbfd.a                   libopcodes-2.26.0.20160614.so  libopcodes.so
libbfd.la                  libopcodes.a

On release branch, we should change soname only when ABI is changed.
