We could add an automatic validation test for checking the discovery

* OS X: otool -L file
* Linux: ldd file
Sounds interesting - the concern would be having added new
dependencies ? or what could we check with that ?
that's actually a good idea, as the recent bibisect Linux 5.0 accident
has demonstrated, see also commit
f4844a9abebcb0451161625c42a1e2b48796102d
we could have a test that runs something like readelf -d | grep
"(NEEDED)", filter out our own libraries, and then filters against a
whilelist of known-good system libraries; anything outside the whitelist
shouldn't be required.
it might even be useful on Mac OS X: while you do have a proper SDK
there and not a random collection of -devel packages, it might still be
possible that some bundled library's crazy configure script finds some
random stuff installed via Fink/MacPorts/etc., which would cause the
same issues.
