The "Android" platform file included with CMake contains:
     set(CMAKE_PLATFORM_NO_VERSIONED_SONAME 1)

Which should do just that.

All you should have to do for this to take effect is have:
     set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Android)

In your toolchain file (instead of what ever you've got it set to now).
