To differentiate libraries that break ABI, we add a library version number
suffix to the library, which must be incremented when a given libraries ABI is
broken.  This patch enforces that addition, sets the initial abi soname
extension to 1 for each library and creates a symlink to the base SONAME so that
the test applications will link properly.

For the relative symbolic link I meant the -r option:
ln -r -s -f $(RTE_OUTPUT)/lib /$(LIB) $(RTE_OUTPUT)/lib/$(LIBSONAME)

But this works too so I leave it up to you whether to change it or not.

Sergio

I don't think theres any need to change it, given that they produce identical
output

Newline changes seem weird.

I think (not sure) that @false is better handled than @exit in case of parallel processing.

Why using ./ ?
Why using the eval trick for $(LIBSONAME) instead of $(basename $(LIB)) ?
Even better, you could use $< instead of $(LIB), matter of taste.
