You can just use the Makefile.shlib rules normally and then rename the
file during installation. PL/pgSQL does things this way:
# In order to use Makefile.shlib, we allow it to build a static
# library libplpgsql.a, which we just ignore, as well as a shared
# library that it will insist on naming $(shlib). We don't want to
# call it that when installed, however, so we ignore the install-shlib
# rule and do this instead:
install: installdirs all
ifeq ($(enable_shared), yes) $(INSTALL_SHLIB) $(shlib) $(DESTDIR)$(pkglibdir)/plpgsql$(DLSUFFIX)
else @echo "*****"; \ echo "* PL/pgSQL was not installed due to lack of shared library support."; \ echo
"*****"
endif
