How about augmenting the object format so that libraries would be

How would you use a library you don't even have the interface to? I
mean if you can't even look at the API in your editor.. that'd be
insane.
Ever heard of Java?

ever heard about Turbo Pascal (and delphi) got this feature since turbo
pascal 4 around 1987
and turbo pascal and delphi are extremely fast native compilers without
any Java, .Net magic
an more up-to-date example can be seen using the freepascal compiler and
its ppdump tool: http://www.freepascal.org/tools/ppudump.var
and turbo pascal gots even since 1987 a very good package system like a
Java Jar file - you can just integrate compiled pascal sources (.pas ->
.tpu) into something called .tpl file (turbo pascal library)
the freepascal compiler got something similar called .ppl
these "technologies" are damn good and invented so long before - but
sometimes totaly unknown to all the obj-file-linker-guys
