Another option which I employ with the opencollada library is to use
arbitrary soversioning. Upstream not only doesn't use library versions
but doesn't use ANY versioning.

I started at 0.1 or something like that and when I build a new package
I check compatibility with abi-compliance-checker. If it's not found
to be compatible, I bump the soversion macro in the spec file before
doing an official build.
