Exactly.

That's true only in default scenario. It breaks if you use -Wl,--as-needed 
linker option (which is default in ldflags here in PLD).

Things need to be correctly linked. librpmio needs neon? So it should be 
linked with neon and bin/xyz which links to librpio shouldn't be linked with 
neon directly (I consider such linking a bug).

These libs (like neon) shouldn't be even visible in pkgconfig --libs etc 
(unless --static used).
