Libraries should simply be loaded by their soname and not by the name
of the symlink (which exists only when the dev package of the lib is
installed), the symlink only exists as a hint for ld at link time so
it can follow it and find the real soname to link the binary against.
The soname is the canonical name of the library and is guaranteed to
exist.
