This is not actually the best option, because the runtime is statically
compiled so we'd have to include the whole dependencies in the .a, and we lose
dynamic linking, which mean we don't get security updates from the distribution
anymore unless we recompile our stuff with a new version.

I think at least we reach an agreement for the solution to adopt, right? If
that the case I might give it another shot to the implementation. But I don't
want to come up with another PR that gets rejected.
