So, really? Wow.

Architectures with static linkage have had that behaviour for ages.
Even the programme pulling libfoo will have to change its Makefile.

And there are systems out there, such as OpenBSD, to name just one,
which do *not* support DT_NEEDED, in order to have the same behavi-
our on static and shared arches, to reduce the amount of breakage &
workarounds required.
