Er? lib${george}-${version}.so and two links is how it's always
been done.
The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of having
anything uClibc-related in /lib or /usr/lib on a development
machine. (Except for /lib/ld-uclibc.so.0.) The main reason I
liked the idea earlier is because powerpc uses a native linker
which doesn't look in /usr/powerpc-linux-uclibc/lib by default.
But that's a /etc/ld.so.conf issue.
