Description: Set DT_SONAME when building dylibs
In Rust, library filenames include a version-specific hash to help
the run-time linker find the correct version. Unlike in C/C++, the
compiler looks for all libraries matching a glob that ignores the
hash and reads embedded metadata to work out versions, etc.
.
The upshot is that there is no need for the usual "libfoo.so ->
libfoo-1.2.3.so" symlink common with C/C++ when building with Rust,
and no need to communicate an alternate filename to use at run-time
vs compile time. If linking to a Rust dylib from C/C++ however, a
"libfoo.so -> libfoo-$hash.so" symlink may well be useful and in
this case DT_SONAME=libfoo-$hash.so would be required. More
mundanely, various tools (eg: dpkg-shlibdeps) complain if they don't
find DT_SONAME on shared libraries in public directories.
.
This patch passes -Wl,-soname=$outfile when building dylibs (and
using a GNU linker).
