Android NDK crazy dependany : needed shared library has a path in it

I am building a ndk code base. I figured out what are the libraries needed and in my android.mk file I have mentioned the same by using LOCAL_LDLIBS += -l$(BASE_PATH)/libicuuc.so and few of them. It builds fine, but when I load it in the android appliation, it says "ucnv_open_52" symbol not found. I figured out that libicuuc.so is the culprit.Also I found in the system/lib in the emulator I do have a libicuuc.so file. But that one is something I don't want. I have build the libicuuc.so myself ( https://github.com/pelya/libiconv-libicu-android).

After bit of research I found a tool called arm-linux-androideabi-readelf.exe. When I run the it against my final so file it gives me the following.

 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libstlport_shared.so]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libBase.so]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [/usr/local/src/android-ndk-r9c/Android-porting-baseline/jni/libicuuc.so]

 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libstdc++.so]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libm.so]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libc.so]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libdl.so]
 0x0000000e (SONAME)                     Library soname: [libFinal.so]

I have changed the names , since I belive they are irrelevant. But do note the third line . I don't understand why libiccuc.so has a path. May be this is the reason why it fails.

Please help

Well, I solved my own problem.

libicuuc.so is present in my device / AVD, many devices do come with libicuuc.so, but the shipped version of the this so file doesn't contain the symbol which my code is dependent upon. So essentially trying to load the libicuuc.so by using system.loadlibrary() somehow loads the system library, which I don't want.

So I build the libicuuc.so with a different module name lets say icuucx ,thus it gives me libicuucx.so , which I loaded by using system.loadlibrary() and it worked.
