IMO, ld's automagic searching is a good thing.  Asking a program to enumerate
all the indirect dependencies of shared libraries is a burden that they may not
be equipped to carry.  How do you envision this be automatable?  readelf to get
DT_NEEDED notes, and form that synthesize -lMMM calls?

It is as if header files didn't #include their own dependencies, forcing main.c
to do include a topological sorted list of all headers.  It's possible but 
unfair.
