   Does soname work now? Thanks.

In what way was it broken?  As far as I know, it has worked for a
couple of years now.

Somebody did send a bug report to bug-gnu-utils about what they
described as an soname bug in the GNU linker, but, as I indicated in
my reply, the bug, if it was a bug, was actually in gcc, not in the
linker.
