right, this is a 'sanity' check which is done in
meta/classes/insane.bbclass to make sure that .so symlink only go in the
-dev packages. i am not familiar with your situation and syslog-ng build,
but I would expect plugins DLL (e.g. .so files) to be real files, not
symlink. symlink .so are typically used for library (linker name vs
soname). a good similar example is the Gstreamer plugins which are real .so
files.

 it is right for OE to prevent you from having symlink .so in binary
packages (to me), so you might need to understand why you get them in the
first place.
