commit f4ec143eef7b714718b766bdc641af7856a950af
Author: William Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com>

    Correct versioning of libpapi.so
    
    The configure for linux always set the soname to libpapi.so.  This
    causes problems when /sbin/ldconfig tries to update the library
    information on linux.  The shared library is installed as
    /lib{64}/libpapi.so.$VERSION, but the shared library has the soname of
    libpapi.so.  ldconfig makes a symbolic link from /lib/libpapi.so to
    the actual versioned shared library, /lib/{64}/libpapi.so$VERSION.
    The configure should get the soname correct to avoid creating this
    symbolic link.
    
    This patch only addresses the issues for some of the possible
    platforms and similar patches may be needed for other platforms.
