To produce only .la and .so files, you can pass -module -avoid-version to
libtool. In Automake, you can do this by using something similar to:

pkglib_LTLIBRARIES = mymod.la
mymod_la_SOURCES = mymod.c

mymod_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version

This also removes the requirement that the library name start with "lib."
