Take a look at the curl package and how it produces curl-minimal.
This sounds close to what I was trying to accomplish.
It uses the new RemovePathPostfixes RPM directive which was made
available in rpm 4.13.0 released on 11/3/2016.
It was documented in this blog:
http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/conflicting-rpms.html
The original discussion appears to have begun with this thread:

Unfortunately there was an issue with debuginfo packages, but it looks
like fix was added upstream a few days ago:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/280
I had never heard of RemovePathPostfixes before. I couldn't find any
useful documentation on it's behavior. Given how new it is and the fact
rpm 4.13.0 won't show up in RHEL until RHEL 8 makes it kind of a
non-starter for me.
I'm beginning to believe RPM is not well suited to this and my best
option is to just run two builds and name the .so differently and let
the user deal with loading the right .so based on it's name.
