Hi, as can be seen from bug 603016, when library has SONAME, but has no symlinks for libfoo.so, this problem is reported as: * QA Notice: The following shared libraries lack a SONAME While it should be reported like "lacks proper symlinks".
If just built net-libs/xrootd-4.4.0 locally, which is the same version bug 603016 was reported against, and SONAME really is lacking from the relevant files. I checked with both scanelf and objdump. I don't know why we're getting different results.

Indeed, something is very different on my systems: ago also reports that package lacks SONAME: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603016#c3 I'll close this bug for now as it looks like problem is elsewhere. By the way, can you please provide USE, CXXFLGAS and LDFLAGS you used for xrootd?
