Huh? You can't compile without including the library header files, and
including them certainly affects code generation.

It talks about "complete work". If the work can't be considered
complete without a linking stage initiated by running an incomplete stub
intended to link a particular library into precompiled places, I don't
see that the resulting situation is clearly as you want to picture it,
and independent of further factors like the involved particulars and
court attenders.
