One of the programs in baycomepp is dlopen()ing baycomfpga_init.so, so no versioned soname is required. The symbols sig_usr2 etc are provided by the hosting application. I don't know why the application has been structued this way - possibly as a hack around some licensing issues. baycomfpga_init.so contains binary blobs of firmware for the hardware.
