Linux: how to change shared library name in dynamic section of ELF binary

Question

I have a shared library with sound: libfoo.so

How do I link my binary to libfoo.so so that the shared library name in my binary ELF section is: libfoo5.so?

I tried to create a symlink: libfoo5.so -> libfoo.so, and then linked my library as such:

g++ ... -o mybinary *.o -Lpath -lfoo5

However, when I print the dynamic section in my ELF binary, it reads:

readelf -d mybinary

I still get:

Shared library: [libfoo.so]
