Subject: Set the soname when creating a shared lib
X-Git-Url: http://git.megacz.com/?p=ghc-hetmet.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=6efacfe8bcbe66dfc3b52397ccbd34a58890520d

Set the soname when creating a shared lib
It's still possible to override it, just use -optl-Wl,-soname, eg:
ghc -shared -dynamic foo.o -o libfoo.so -optl-Wl,-soname,libbar.so
