There hardly seems to be any documentation on it but I'm guessing 
SONAMEs (just as RPATH/RUNPATH) are ignored by the loader but the 
SONAMEs don't hurt it and are still nice to have for the (build time) 
linker so that no workarounds for linking by path are required.

Android's own buildsystem seems to reject any shared library not ending 
on .so.
