Since libtool is "just" a linker as far as is considered here,
it has no knowledge of whether you added, remove, or abi/api-changed
something.

Of course 3:0:5 is ridiculous. You cannot have a version 3 library
that supports the last 5 AXI versions. (If it were, then it
would be possible to have a minus-1, minus-2 library version,
but that is not plausible and hence contradicts 3:0:5.
