The _g name is one of the links that are added because it currently exists in all linux packaging (at least both rpm and deb formats). I can't say with certainty
why linux developers link to that library with a _g, but it at least 3
major distros (Ubuntu, Fedora and Mandriva) all deliver it.

Looks good Rich except where does this _g stuff come from?

I'll add Doug to the cc: for the more in-depth answer, but I can
tell you that it's in the PSARC spec at:

Thanks for the +1. Just to be sure, I'd appreciate one more reviewer.
