Description

### Describe the issue

Multiple reports already exist explaining how struggling resolving library linking order can be in general. Though it's become more of a nightmare lately with more absl dependencies needed for the very same code base, and handling different library link orders for my two primaryr platforms (Ubuntu 22.04 and Alpine 3.19) is really insane. After spending several hours on it (counting) I want to add my +1 for an at least somewhat better maintainable packaging.

### Steps to reproduce the problem

Use a random app which depends on boringssl and abseil, and have fun sorting the libraries.

20240116.1

### What operating system and version are you using?

Alpine 3.19
