Oh, and it's not just about footprint actually, it's also about security: by ensuring that dynamic libraries only get loaded when they are actually used, we make it harder for exploits such as the openssh/xz incident last year to take place, as compile time deps no longer translate to runtime deps 1:1, and thus awful concepts such as gcc constructors lose their negative impact a bit.
