Having the soname be libpython3 is the whole point of the library, it serves no other reason. It is intentional that there are file collisions with that file, and either the local admin or the distributor must make an explicit choice which libpython3 should be installed; it should be the one that corresponds to /usr/bin/python (if you install it into /usr/lib). As for file20939: it's GNU-ld-specific, so it likely breaks if the linker is not GNU ld.
