Actually, taking a look at Amazon Linux 2022's packaging of these libraries, I see that they're distributed as .so files, and the aws-crt-python packagin declares runtime dependencies on these dynamically loaded libraries. So I don't think we're in uncharted waters if we decide to ship .so libraries. noah
