-h should be getting passed to ld, and it should be setting the SONAME.

adding -v to gcc's line would probably show how it's invoking ld to
create the shared object, but what happens if you modify the build
line so that instead of

 	-h libkrb5support.so.0

it tries

 	-Wl,-h,libkrb5support.so.0

or uses gcc's -Xlinker equivalent.
