I want to link the example with liba.so, and also the example is NOT using anything inside the liba.so ...

    armlink --userlibpath /mylib/lib liba.so --fpic --shared -o example main.o demo.o

So finally I got nothing from: readelf -d example | grep NEEDED, it seems that armlink do some optimization to remove the linked library which is not really used by the "example" ? If I want to let the liba.so be always linked into example, what need I do with armlink options ?

Any information is very appreciated ;)
