Stop!
We don't put the soversion into cross-package names.
I don't think we are the only distro to do that.
I don't think it makes any sense to do so, as there's no executables in
other cross-packages which use that shared library.
Any user cross-built executables will need to be rebuilt after this
update (and the names of any shared libraries distributed with the
cross-built executable updated)
I get that this is trying to avoid having to rebuild all the dependent
cross-packages right now, but they need to be rebuilt eventually, and
making stuff more complex just for that temporarily state doesn't seem
useful.
