I opened a github issue asking for an official stance. https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/issues/2042 In the mean time, I found out how was the SONAME generated. It looks like the ABI version is managed explicitely and used to produce a SONAME. https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/blob/32a8a47d/CMakeLists.txt#L880 https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/blob/32a8a47d/version.cmake#L7 So I would expect a positive outcome soon.
