    What actual problem are you trying to solve here? Commented May 10, 2018 at 13:20
  • The problem I'm solving is having to link against a mega-.so if only a small .so would suffice. Commented May 10, 2018 at 13:22

    And what issues is linking against that large .so causing you? Commented May 10, 2018 at 13:25

    Unless you're running in a memory-constrained environment like an embedded device, your cost of splitting it up in the way you describe almost certainly already exceeds the cost of the size of the mega library. Ten megabytes was a big deal in 1980, but I can pull that over my high-speed internet connection in less than a second. Commented May 10, 2018 at 13:39
