ld: library not found - but the library is there and the flags are correct

I have a linker problems:

I don't understand why but I can't get clang++ to find the library, despite giving all the correct flags.

I tried doing the same things on a linux machine with the same project and it worked perfectly, so this is really a problem with the mac environment.

$ clang++ -std=c++11 -shared ppu_pluggable_device.cc -fPIC \
  -I/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/envs/tf/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/include \
  -L/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/envs/tf/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python \
  -l:_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so \
  -O2 -o plugin.so
(...)
ld: library not found for -l:_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

$ ls /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniforge/base/envs/tf/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python
(...)
_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so		estimator				pywrap_mlir.py				user_ops
