I quickly tested under FreeBSD 10.3. Even thought FreeBSD doesn't have 
*-devel packages like Linux does. All ports packages (binary or build 
from source) include unversioned and versioned library names.

Anyway, the -l:libname.so.1 style linker parameter also works under 
FreeBSD. I could link a project without problems. To make doubly sure, I 
deleted the libX11.so symlink file and managed to link my project 
successfully. It also run without problems (didn't expect any issues 
here). So using the versioned library names definitely works.
