New submission from Jeremy Huntwork:

On my system, the C library (musl) intentionally does not include a SONAME 
entry.

This method in particular fails: 
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/076705776bbe/Lib/ctypes/util.py#l133

The function seems to jump through some hoops which may not be necessary. Is 
there a reason for wanting particularly to use the SONAME entry for the lib?

In my system the following works as a replacement for _get_soname:

return os.path.basename(os.path.realpath(f))
