For a few linkers, maybe. For others no. Though I admit ignorance to the 
inner workings of linux-ld, it's my understanding that the application code 
in memory only references the library code. The program's space in memory 
does not contain the library, only addresses to the library functions. The 
linker resolves the symbolic names to actual addresses at runtime. I believe 
the situation is the same for all unices, along with DOS/Windows.
