One might simply declare this to be pilot error. It is difficult
to imagine what libraries might be needed to link Postfix executables
that are not in fact dependencies of the Postfix libraries.
Mostly people use libmumble.a for MySQL support or similar, but
these are used via libglobal or libutil, and so not compatible with
a shared build.
I can't think of any external features used directly by Postfix
executables bypassing Postfix libraries. This leaves only SASL
and MILTER support as possible problem areas, since currently we
don't make libxsasl and libmilter shared.
