I'm not quite sure.

I used to think that symlinks don't solve the issue,
and one needs the correct SONAME value inside the dynamic library.
And I created MDEV-9294.

But many people were asking for and complaining about symlinks, and
nobody said that they didn't help. So I thought that may be I
misunderstood the documentation and symlinks are enough.

Now it looks like we might still need to imlement MDEV-9294 after all...
