it seems that it's ELF spec by rights. basically
dynamic-linked programs/libraries has Procedure Linkage
Table, and the undefined symbols are resolved with it by
dynamic linker. however -static'ed programs has no PLT. so
dynamic linker has no way to know whether -static'ed
programs has the symbols or not. thus, in this case, when
dynamic linker is trying to resolve libfoo.so's symbols
which is needed by loaded modules.so, it's not referred from
-static'ed programs, and dynamic linker has loaded
libfoo.so.
