Why?

There is very marginal benefit in reducing the number of symbols in a
shared lib, but definite costs in increasing the number of shared libs.
Please end that thread.   There are 2^n-2 ways to choose a nontrivial
subset of n symbols and for any subset there will be someone that want
it in a separate lib.  It's not going to happen.  Any further discussion
will be just noise.
