No we use symbolic links:

On the same topic, you've added a check in 9f8eb1d9:
+		if (stat(solib->name, &sb) == -1) {
+			RTE_LOG(ERR, EAL, "Invalid plugin specified: %s: %s\n",
+				solib->name, strerror(errno));

It is a regression because we cannot anymore load a plugin from
LD_LIBRARY_PATH without specifying its full path.
It can be tested with scripts/test-null.sh.
How do you suggest to fix it?

Thanks
