Dealing with an upstream that doesn't maintain a stable ABI is indeed 
problematic. :-/

Your approach (static lib) would be one way to possibly mitigate that.

Others: 
* engage your upstream about being more mindful about ABI and bumping 
library sonames when changes are introduced.  It's possible this may be 
unintentional and a bug worth fixing (if they knew about it).
