One way to avoid this problem globally would be for all of our /Android.mk to
do:

    ./configure [...] PKG_CONFIG="pkg-config --static"

which means that pkg-config will explicitly request the complete dependency
chain of every library:

    % pkg-config --libs gobject-2.0
    -pthread -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0  

    % pkg-config --static --libs gobject-2.0
    -pthread -lgobject-2.0 -lffi -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lrt

I'd prefer this approach, assuming it works: I think this is a considerably
better long-term solution than hard-coding random extra dependencies in all of
our packages.
