Does Elf have a mechanism to specify that this object/library requires some other library? If so, then we can use that mechanism.
The idea that users should have to specify which libraries to link with is something I find totally lame. That people needed to do this 20 years ago is no excuse to continue such nonsense. I.e. if my C/C++ program includes <math.h> that should be enough information that the linker can figure out we need libm.
