Any library under /lib{,64}, /usr/lib{,64} and /usr/local/lib{,64}
is likely not an "application in development" library (although
there are obvious exceptions to this heuristic).
Another alternative: allow the user to "silence" specific
libraries via a glob pattern, e.g.
set system-library "/lib*/libc.so.6 /lib*/libpthread.so.1"
The default could be "/lib* /usr/lib* /usr/local/lib*", which
would be equivalent to the heuristic above. A user who cares
about all libraries could reset this to "". A user who
doesn't care about any could set this to "*".
[Use ';' instead of space to separate patterns on *win* targets.]
