Don't use the -l, it's just a conventional way of finding dependencies
that follow a "libX.so" style.
Use:
cc foo.c -o foo ./foo_bar.so
cc foo.c -o foo ../../../../eds-libs/foo_bar.so
cc foo.c -o foo /opt/eds-libs/foo_bar.so
The SONAME within the library will be the dependency name that
is recorded in foo (see ld(1) -h).
