that's because it's become a real OS, which virtualizes memory and pages
what is not needed. But you still have to include the full thing in the
distribution, for instance. Granted, shared objects are great, but that's
not a reason to link against every single shared object you can find in
the system 'just in case i might need it' :)

But you have a valid point though.
