Re: Build versionless .so for Android

What I try to do is packaging an app with androiddeployqt which fails with
an error:

The bundled library lib/libpq.so.5 doesn't end with .so. Android only
supports versionless libraries ending with the .so suffix.

This error was introduced in response to this issue which contains hints
about the underlying problem:

https://bugreports.qt.io/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/QTBUG-101346

I hope this sheds some light
