[yocto] executable depends on the library that is built in the same recipe

[Jeremy A. Puhlman]

Given it is looking for libMyTool.so and not a versioned library, my 
guess is that the shared
library is not setting a proper soname when being built. All libraries 
should be built with a soname,
and if done correctly should be versioned.  The .so file generally 
shouldn't be the runtime library
but a link back to the versioned library, so you get something that 
looks like:

/usr/lib/libz.so -> libz.zo.1.2.11
/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.11
/usr/lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1
