I understand that there is a risk of breaking "lots of clients".

I could not find any documentation on this behaviour (=putting the whole path
into DT_NEEDED), so I can imagine others to be as astonished as I was.

The problem I see is that the resulting binary "libmylib.so" will in general
only be runnable on the build machine, since the path cannot be resolved in
another environment. If this is what is intended, it should at least be
documented somewhere as well, shouldn't it?

(ad "add the SONAME"): Changing it's SONAME is difficult, if "libfoo.so" is a
closed-source 3rd-party product.
