What distinction is important here?  In my experience - not just on Linux - a
shared library *is* a dynamic shared object unless one specifically links
statically, so the difference isn't the thing itself.  Are you saying there's
a difference in how the thing is specified on the linker command line (e.g.
"-lafr" vs. "afr.so")?  If using "-l" even for libraries in known locations
is a problem, why hasn't this issue come up e.g. for libglusterfs?
