In this bit of the spec...

for file in libssldap50.so libprldap50.so libldap50.so
do
  mv $file $file.%{major}.%{minor}
  ln -s $file.%{major}.%{minor} $file.%{major}
  ln -s $file.%{major} $file
done

...$file is a symlink to $file.major, which is a symlink to $file.major.minor.
$file should just symlink up to $file.major.minor instead.

I can't say I know the specifics of it, but I know it works. :) Its explicitly
called out that way in the packaging guidelines, and does work for umpteen
libraries already in Fedora Core and Extras.

Bah, that was from me playing around a bit to see if it was just the file name
it didn't like. The actual output to be concerned about is:

E: mozldap invalid-soname /usr/lib64/libssldap50.so.5.17 libssldap50.so
E: mozldap invalid-soname /usr/lib64/libprldap50.so.5.17 libprldap50.so
E: mozldap invalid-soname /usr/lib64/libldap50.so.5.17 libldap50.so

I believe the versioning should be encoded somewhere in the shared lib, but at
build time, unversioned libs are being created. A 'strings
/usr/lib(64)/lib<whatever>' for any library with a versioning includes
lib<whatever.so.<version> in the output, while lib*ldap50.so.* only includes
lib*ldap50.so. That being the case, it looks like either something needs to be
done at build time to put the right versioning info in there, or only the
unversioned lib should be packaged.
