I've been using this patch for ages,
http://cgit.mika.l3ib.org/cgit/zsh-cvs/commit/?h=mika&id=c6a582b4c4f84677cb096a8d2223707545779d58
as the commit says, it's a hack though. I remember someone mentioning
when I brought it up last time that there could be systems where the
main binary has to link the libraries, but as far as I know that only
applies if the main binary actually uses symbols from those libraries
directly. I only know about linux libcs though, so maybe I'm wrong. It
would be nice to have the option for it though.
