[Slackbuilds-users] Direct linking so files instead of linked so files?

Ok, first off this is a rhetorical question. I'm away from my home computer
and will have to research it from there.  However, however, if anyone has
any words of wisdom about this, by no means does this question need to be
answerless. (My brain works in horrible ways, and this happens to work for
me, so meh, make of it what you will, HAH).

Anyhoo!  While trying to run an app I maintain (equalx) I realized that the
latest upgrade to 14.2 (which was current back those many moons ago) kind
of broke because of the symlink to libpoppler.  libpoppler.so.58 was the
originally linked library, but now I have libpoppler.so.62.  Sooo, in the
offchance that certain particular routines in a library for a piece of
software wouldn't need an upgrade, what could be searched in the Makefile
to force it to compile using the non-linked library in order to diff and
patch?

Please, for the love of Pete, I'm not trying to rustle any one's jimmies if
there'd be bad juju in modifying a slackbuild for something like that.  I'm
away from home, have a thousand things on my mind, and am a little out of
my mind.

Have a happy!

I'm a little teacup short and stout...
