title: Can UNIX shared libraries be merged into a single library?
body: <p>I am experimenting with my own BSD or Linux distribution.  I want to organize the system files in a way that makes sense to an end user.  I want them to have access to the system without all the file clutter that *nixes leave around.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to merge several dynamic libraries into a single file without losing dynamic linking?  I will have access to all of the source files.</p>
