That file has not been stripped of debug symbols, resulting in
unnecessary disk space usage in the package.  Make sure that you have
the redhat-rpm-config package installed and your *.so above has the
execute permissions set at end of %install section; rpmbuild should then
take care of the stripping and moving the symbols into the -debuginfo
package for you.
