Thanks. I will certainly try that.
However, I have completely changed path now ;) I think the root cause
of this entire problem is that the package is constructed wrong. Since
these .so files are modules, we need to tell libtool so it does not
create the regular versioned lib file structure. What we want is a .so
file and no links. Maybe then all of this is a no issue anymore?

elinx_drv_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version -shared

This might do the trick.
