Unlikely! (My ld is for the DEC. Yours will be part of gcc et al., so your
command line options will differ. man ld is your friend I guess.
This is what the debian xforms maintainer reported.

Since the XForms source current tar ball doesn't produce a shared
library yet, I hacked that in locally for a test Debian package that I'm
working on.
I picked a SONAME of 1.0, guessing that's what it'll be in the final
version, e.g.:
$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.*
1102514 Apr 3 23:43 /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.a
15 Apr 3 23:45 /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so -> libforms.so.1.0
461172 Sep 14 2000 /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.88
769780 Sep 14 2000 /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.89
15 Apr 3 23:45 /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.1 -> libforms.so.1.0
882116 Apr 3 23:43 /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.1.0
