#8609: optional package for libraries are not hybrid-enabled

installing optional package with libraries only installs them for the
'main' gcc. For example, on a gcc2 hybrid you don't get the gcc4 version
of the lib.
With the current runtime loader behaviour, this means when running a gcc4
app, the gcc2 lib could be loaded.
Even worse, running a gcc2 app on a gcc4h install in this case leads to
load of the lib, which itself depends on libsupc++. Loading this in a gcc2
image causes a lot of weird bugs in unrelated places.
I think this could be solved by renaming the gcc4 libs, for example using
"4so" as a suffix instead of just so. This would help avoiding mixups, and
allow to put the libs in the same directory. As a result, the optional
packages for gcc4 can be installed in a gcc2 hybrid without creating
problems.
On the other hand :
* The package manager may solve that in a better way ? (installing the
libs at the right place somehow ?)
* There is some work needed on build of packages, for example sdl-config,
allegro-config and other pkg-config files should look to setgcc setting
and use the right lib path according to that.
