> We build Xerces-C++ for both the Linux and MacOS platforms, with both static and shared libraries. There are arguably some dubiously named symbolic links created by src/CMakeLists.txt. The symlinks are always named 'libxerces-c.so' regardless or library type, or use of the .dylib extension on MacOS.

> Curiously, the Microsoft _vcpkg_ folks just recently ran into the Linux static library portion of this issue and elected to not create the symlink in that case. See [[xerces-c] produces strange files in installed/x64-linux/lib|[https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/7490]].
