I don't see a need for that.  Also, why would you make the directory
name different from the name of the shlib it's building --- or are
you having second thoughts about the present name?

No, but why would you need more than one?  What you might need
(and can't have with the present hack) is more than one .o file
getting built into the shared library.

Isn't that the same idea you just proposed?
