We only need to know if this_soname is matching one of the patterns, we
don't need to check for each and every pattern.

Something like:

for pattern in private_libs:
	if fnmatch.fnmatch(this_soname, pattern)]) == 0:
		sonames.add(prov)
		break

would be possible?

AFAICT, private_libs is either the content of PRIVATE_LIBS_PN or
PRIVATE_LIBS or "" then passed to .split(). This should be safe for the
forloop without a check.

Same here?

Just a suggestion :)
