+NO_SONAME
+---------
+
+Whether to set "soname" when linking a shared library or module.
+
+Enable this boolean property if a generated shared library or module
+should not have "soname" set. Default is to set "soname" on all
+shared libraries and modules as long as the platform supports it.
+Generally, use this property only for leaf private libraries or
+plugins. If you use it on normal shared libraries which other targets
+link against, on some platforms a linker will insert a full path to
+the library (as specified at link time) into the dynamic section of
+the dependent binary. Therefore, once installed, dynamic loader may
+eventually fail to locate the library for the binary.
