That's why I suggested a configure argument switch, which is disabled by 
default. It would make life lot easier for package builder, well at least for 
those that do not want to build monolithic packages. Its easy to implement 
and has no impact on current methodology whatsoever, as it would require a 
conscious decision in getting this wrong!

You make my request sound like a complex issue similar to that of an API 
change. It merely adds another configure option, which only requires a couple 
of minor changes in the configure script and Makefile.common file.
