Comment (by duncan):
In this ticket and in #3705, we could produce better diagnostics than
linker errors if we tracked how built libs/packages expect to find their
external symbols.
The thing to track is whether they expect to find them within the same
shared object or in a separate shared object. That would also have caught
an apparent problem Max ran into when playing with shared libs.
This would involve tracking if the object files were built with -dynamic
or not (and perhaps -fPIC too).
