To the best of my knowledge, that is the responsibility of pkg-config. Information about the supported libraries is stored in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. > And how does one indicate which version to link against? Generally, there is no need to do that in an ebuild. The software package's configure script will automatically run pkg-config in order to determine which flags must be passed to the linker.
