Patch series proposed upstream: Author: Florian Weimer Date: Wed Jun 9 14:12:46 2021 +0200 Install shared objects under their ABI names Previously, the installed objects were named like libc-2.33.so, and the ABI soname libc.so.6 was just a symbolic link. The Makefile targets to install these symbolic links are no longer needed after this, so they are removed with this commit. The more general $(make-link) command (which invokes scripts/rellns-sh) is retained because other symbolic links are still needed. diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index 56ed01d4386ad8b7..7f054f422d990d8a 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -199,6 +199,16 @@ if 'CFLAGS' is specified it must enable optimization.
