It would be useful as it would allow to drop more OpenBSD downstream patches.
It has been pointed out that this might not be the best approach given
the potential ambiguities.
Is there no way to have it all?
OpenBSD really doesn't seem to want SONAME entries:

("Avoid DT_SONAME hardcoding")
CMake would much rather use full paths rather than -L/-l because of
ambiguity problems.
On the binutils (ld) mailinglist it was proposed to change the behavior
at one point (to embed filenames without path) but it was not done in
the end.
Reason was that the ELF spec apparently requires the existing behavior:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2001-05/msg00293.html
Is there no other way to use full paths and still get the correct NEEDED
entries?
I tried that, but if you simply remove the SONAME linker flag than e.g. a
binary in the build tree will not be able to find a library in a sibling
directory as long as you don't fiddle with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. And that is the
point where I gave up and decided not to care any more.
can't load library '../lib/libCMakeTestLibraryShared.so'
Looks like it is still using paths in the link(?).
