If $(SHLIBGCOV_SONAME) is just the SONAME (not a full path to the 
installed file), that's automatically a relative link (within the same 
directory).  It's only if you're putting the .so symlink for the static 
linker in a different directory from the actual shared library for the 
dynamic linker that any complications arise (I'm not sure that's something 
we ever do at present).
