What if we find out where the linker has put the shared library, copy that
region
of memory into the dump file and when loading Emacs we mmap that data into
same address it was?
It is essentially saving the result of the linker for later use. This would
require
no ASLR and doing it ASAP to prevent the something from using that address
space.

Another option: statically link the .eln files (we'd need libgccjit to
create static libraries)
into the final Emacs executable. This would take care of function
definitions and
loading the dump would take care of the rest.
