The SASL code never checks to see if a file is a symlink or not. (Nor
should it, since you might legitimately symlink a plugin from some other
location into the default plugin directory.) All it does is look for a
".so" or ".la" suffix, and it ignores anything else. This works on most
platforms because for versioned files, they stick the version *after* the
.so suffix. E.g. you would have libplain.so and libplain.so.2,
libplain.so.2.0.22.
Why they've messed with the order of name components on MacOS is beyond
me. Is that the way all other shared libraries are named as well, or is
this just a broken libtool installing things with the wrong names?
Macintosh doesn't natively create "*.so" files. It creates "*.dylib"
files. The fact that SASL is creating "*.so" files indicates that
something is been done by SASL to change the default Macintosh behavior.
However, "*.dylib" creation is done in the rather broken manner you
describe, so I would guess that is the default behavior for libtool on the
mac. ;)
