I agree, but this is a "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it"
problem: for the moment, I *need* a single stand-alone .so (which is not
that hard to build) with all the dependencies in it - including libc. It's
a company policy thing.
Anyways, this is how I solved the problem - but that doesn't mean anyone
else should do the same thing - I just said what I'd done in the same type
of situation.
