Maybe this should be done at different level altogether: rpms have dynamically generated requires/provides. Maybe we should have something as part of the build process that generates 'Provides: bundled(foo) = …' for every package that provides "static elements" that is present on the build system / or listed in build requires if that'd be possible. (Packages that provide "static elements" would be those that have -static in the name or are header only -devel packages. We could use some heuristics and/or mark them appropriate using virtual Provides.) This would probably be a lot easier to implement than a language that is embedded in ELF files… It could also be made to work for some strange cases like a .jar file embedding an .so.
