Without a SONAME gcc will put the whole library path into executables
which link against these libraries:
$ readelf -d Root/usr/local/games/openttd
Dynamic section at offset 0xf0747c contains 32 entries:
Tag Type Name/Value
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libgcc_s.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [/serenity/Build/i686/Root/usr/local/lib/libpng.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [/serenity/Build/i686/Root/usr/local/lib/libz.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [/serenity/Build/i686/Root/usr/local/lib/liblzma.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libSDL2-2.0.so.1]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libicui18n.so.69]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libicuuc.so.69]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libicudata.so.69]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libpthread.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libm.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libc.so]
This causes the executable to fail because the dynamic linker
tries to find the library in the incorrect path.
