I think there are cases of auto-discovery of sonames out there, to
emulate what the native toolchain does when you write -lssl.  Of course,
this completely falls appart in the presence of such soname changes.

Yeah, if they don't do that, it's going to be really awkward.

How set are they on the soname bump?  Maybe they'd be open to a review
how to avoid it on GNU/Linux?  But that could mean they'll end up with
different sonames on GNU and musl.
