include a header file provided by the library and then explicitly
link the library with the linker ``-l`` option. On Windows, header
files usually contain pragmas that list needed libraries. Compilers
copies that information to object files, so that linkers can
copy that information to object files, so that linkers can
automatically link needed libraries. ``--dependent-library`` is
added for implementing that Windows semantics on Unix.

The feature allows you semi-automatically split a single program
The feature allows you to semi-automatically split a single program
into multiple ELF files called "partitions". Since all partitions
share the same memory address space and don't use PLT/GOT, split
programs run as fast as regular programs.
