This obviously has been written with C programs in mind.
Please stop repeating this obvious falsehood. It's not true. It
started with C/C++ sure, but it has applied reasonably well to most

rebuilds each reverse dep if static linked) is better than patching
one thing >500 different ways and rebuilding each instance.
