No. As far as I can see there is no change in the install target of
backend/Makefile.in that could cause such a behaviour.

In 1.0.11 we created such links manually but this is done by libtool
nowerdays:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     staff          17 2004-06-16 18:09 /usr/local/lib/libsane.so -> libsane.so.1.0.14
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     staff          17 2004-06-16 18:09 /usr/local/lib/libsane.so.1 -> libsane.so.1.0.14
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     staff       84752 2004-06-16 18:09 /usr/local/lib/libsane.so.1.0.14

Bye,
