Hi,

We ran into an issue on the Anaconda Distribution recently where we
added libarchive-c to conda-build (so we can un-compress more source
archive formats than tarfile supports) and everything was good a few
hours, until it hit various CI systems where objdump is not installed.

I was a bit surprised by this dependency and wondered if there'd be
interest in a fallback path that inspects the elf with some fairly
simple python code to determine the soname instead? I have code that
works already - though it could do with and a tidy up - and has been
tested on a variety of architectures. Would CPython be interested in
an attempt to upstream this?

Is it documented anywhere that objdump is needed to load some
extension modules on Linux?

Best regards,
