Include routines the library itself needs
Make the library self-contained.
For example,
printf(S)
requires much of the standard I/O library.
A shared library containing printf should
contain the rest of the standard I/O routines, too.
NOTE:
This guideline should not take priority over the others in this section.
If you exclude some routine that the library itself needs
based on a previous guideline,
consider leaving the symbol out of the library and importing it.
