For what it's worth, having them in a separate library to begin with is purely a waste of resources. Every additional .so file loaded consumes several pages of memory, and of course disk space is also wasted on extra elf headers and block alignment. Copying the glibc practice of separating libpthread and librt from libc was just a mistake that should really be corrected... Users who don't want to waste the space for these functions can just disable them in the build config...
