It's more likely you're building the library incorrectly.  Does your
library have a SONAME?  If not, you need to build it so that is has one,
and then relink myprog.  That will probably fix the issue you're having.

Basically, running

 	ldd myprog

and

 	objdump -p mylib.so.2.1.1 | egrep SONAME

should both agree for mylib.
