I have spent few hours today tracing this problem.
Here is the solution for 1.5.0.4290:

Edit file: builds/posix/Makefile.in.extlib
Change line:
$(LIBIBUTIL_SO): LINK_PROD=$(LIBIBUTIL_SO)
to:
$(LIBIBUTIL_SO): LINK_PROD=$(IbUtilLibraryName)

Run http://autogen.sh again. If you don't want to run configration
again, you can change this line directly in gen/Makefile.extlib
file. Then run make of course.

Issue is not present for HEAD builds.

I fixed this build issue (wrong soname) in B1_5_Release
branch, this fix will be a part of 1.5.1 release.

Any easy way to reproduce this:

Remove /usr/lib/libib_util.so (symbolic link).
Add /opt/firebird/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf file.
Run "ldconfig".
You will get an error message:

ldconfig: Can't link
/opt/firebird/lib/../gen/firebird/lib/libib_util.so to
libib_util.so

This clearly indicates that there is a problem with
libib_util.so, even before trying to link to it from other
programs.

There is definitely a problem with the file
/opt/firebird/lib/libib_util.so. It appears to have a
reference to ../gen/firebird/lib/libib_util.so. Of course,
this reference does not link anywhere.

This causes other programs that are trying to link with
libib_util.so to fail during the link process.

I'm surprised a fix has not already been released for this.
It seems like it would affect everyone.

i have this problem too... and what you say it's true, if
you remove de symlink the message stops. i have tried to
direct insert the /opt/firebird/lib directory in ld.so.conf
and then run ldconfig, but the message starts to show again...

if you find a solution please tell me...
