A recommended practice for the shared libraries deployed in the unix-like systems is have the libraries suffixed with version, along with the symbolic links pointing to them.
Something like -

libopentelemetry_trace.so  -> libopentelemetry_trace.so.1 -> libopentelemetry_trace.so.1.9.0

It would be good to update the CMake build to generate them. This could be a build breaking change - as libopentelemetry_trace.so would now become the sym link, and not the actual file. so this could be introduced under separate cmake option.

This issue is specifically for CMake. The bazel build change can be introduced with separate issue.
