Because its a shared library reference. The kernel will refuse to load an ELF object if its symbol references cannot be resolved.
There are, of course, various complicated Rube-Goldbergian workarounds, by loading shared libraries manually. This introduces a new dependency on libtool, as well as some portability issues. Its true that, historically, libtool has been a fairly stable staple used in the courier-authlib package; however that still adds additional complications and overhead.
