libtool and SONAME

[Mark Davies <mark%ecs.vuw.ac.nz@localhost>]

Is it just me or does the current libtool (2.2.6bnb3) create libraries with 
the full version number in the SONAME eg.

% objdump -x /usr/pkg/lib/libidn.so.11.6.1 | grep SONAME
  SONAME      libidn.so.11.6.1


whereas previously:

% objdump -x /usr/pkg/lib/libidn.so.11.5.44 | grep SONAME
  SONAME      libidn.so.11

resulting in binaries that have dependencies on explicit shared library 
versions:

% ldd /usr/pkg/bin/wget
/usr/pkg/bin/wget:
        -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
        -lcrypt.0 => /lib/libcrypt.so.0
        -lcrypto.4 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4
        -lssl.6 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.6
        -ldes.7 => /usr/lib/libdes.so.7
        -lintl.0 => /usr/lib/libintl.so.0
        -lidn.11.6.1 => /usr/pkg/lib/libidn.so.11.6.1

or is something else going on?

cheers
