Yes. Actually, bsd.port.mk uses the ``-O'', instead of the ``-W''. Search for
PACKAGE-DEPENDS-LIST (a rather grotesque contraption, BTW). Thus it is still
prone to mistakes such as recording dependency on meow, when libmeow.so was
installed by meow-devel or something.
But it is *still* perfectly safe without the shared libs major numbers. Using
those without a _real_ need to is useless and breaks the perfectly legitimate
scenarios outlined earlier in this thread.
Doing so _knowingly_ is simply capricious...
