LD_LIBRARY_PATH allows for a variety of suffixes because of version
numbers.

Actually, LD_LIBRARY_PATH lookup does not care about the suffix at all, it
just searches for the required file as described in the NEEDED field:

Maybe it depends on the OS. In my Solaris days, shared objects had a
major version number in the suffix.

But it wasn't as such; the "HNAME" tells the runtime linker what name
it should open; only SunOS 4.x interpreted the suffix.
