In 3.3 we've added -release <syslog-ng-version-number> to the libtool arguments when linking libsyslog-ng.so to indicate its close ties to the actual
syslog-ng version. Its compatibility is not ensured even between minor releases.

Unfortunately we can't easily put that lib into a private library folder, as that would require wrapper scripts for all of our binaries (setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
or using -rpath which is not accepted by most distributions.

So the current solution is the best I could come up with, closing this ticket (as INVALID lacking a better resolution). If linking syslog-ng fully dynamic on
your distribution is ok (e.g. all the required libs are in /lib or syslog-ng is installed in /usr) then that's an alternative too.
