Hm, that would be nice, but as of now the objtool build is independent
of the CONFIG stuff and I'm not sure how to integrate them cleanly.

Maybe it could only link to the library if it exists, and then complain
later at runtime when the feature gets specified on the cmdline?

Or we could try dlopen?
