I think it'd be technically possible to force a specific SONAME in the linker 
script but I don't think that's a good idea. Clang should be able to use any 
libunwind implementation, and libc++ shouldn't really be encoding internal 
implementation details to the point of specific SONAME.

On the other hand, if we are doing a complete in-tree build of LLVM with 
libunwind, I guess it'd be reasonable to avoid combining the system library 
with the just-built library. Assuming we want to force 'our' library, and 
considering the fact that the tests are specifying all dependencies explicitly 
anyway, I think the most correct solution for that would be to skip the linker 
script for tests.

I see two possible solutions for that: either we pass full SONAME of the 
library when linking tests, or we provide an additional symlink to skip linker 
script. Gentoo already does the latter, and I wanted to add support for that 
into libcxx anyway, so that may be the solution. The idea is that besides 
`libc++.so` (the linker script), additional `libc++_shared.so` symlink is 
installed that references the library directly.
