Unfortunately, any way you look at it, that's quite likely a step
backward on systems which don't support shared libraries, because if
they don't support shared libraries they're not very likely to support
rtld and dynamic loading of those modules.

Sure, it helps the size of a "few" static executables on systems which
already support shared libraries, but those aren't really _that_ big a
problem, are they?
