This.

If you have shared libraries, I believe they are likely to have symbols
that are really defined in other libraries (in libc, for example). You
would need to figure out which symbols these are and exclude them
(unless you plan to hunt them all down and try to statically link all
the OS libraries).  None of this sounds very pleasant.
