>Description:
	ld can't find shared libraries that endi in just .so while
	linking.
>How-To-Repeat:
	With a file libfoo.so in the current directory,

		ld -Bshareable bar.o -L. -lfoo -o barmodule.so

	will fail to find libfoo. If libfoo.so is renamed
	to libfoo.so.0.0, it'll work.

	If this is intended behavior, please change Class to
	change-request and consider this a plea to change the bahavior. 
>Fix:
	Unknown.
