On 2.1.1-DEVELOPMENT, the binaries use the full specific version of shared 
library dependencies. Libtool .la files have dlname set to the specific 
version.

Anyone else seeing this?

Look at dlname in /usr/pkg/lib/  .la files. Use ldd to look at .so 
libraries.

I didn't see this on older versions of DragonFly. Maybe libtool changed? 
But it looks like with same older version it didn't have problem. So maybe 
it is some GCC or linker change? I don't know. Any ideas?
libtool is broken.  I did a patch, but it didn't get commited yet:
