Comment (by bgamari):

 For the record, angerman has suggested in the past that we leverage
 recursive linking to work around this limitation. He has an example
 [[https://github.com/angerman/dylib-linking|here]]. However, I'll admit
 I'm not terribly keen on spending our complexity budget working around
 arbitrary limitations imposed by Apple.
