Hi, We ran into an issue on the Anaconda Distribution recently where we added libarchive-c to conda-build (so we can un-compress more source archive formats than tarfile supports) and everything was good a few hours, until it hit various CI systems where objdump is not installed.
I was a bit surprised by this dependency and wondered if there'd be interest in a fallback path that inspects the elf with some fairly simple python code to determine the soname instead? I have code that works already - though it could do with and a tidy up - and has been tested on a variety of architectures. Would CPython be interested in an attempt to upstream this? Is it documented anywhere that objdump is needed to load some extension modules on Linux?
