By the target executable I meant the executable that static library is linked with. In my case it needs to re-export symbols because the executable will load "plugins" in runtime. The static library is the binary dependency supplied by a 3rd party and cannot be converted to a dynamic library that could be linked both with the executable and plugins.
Please disregard this message. Looks like forum lagged and I thought my previous message was lost.
The solution that was proposed by the Apple engineer was to use getattrlist (2) with ATTR_CMNEXT_NOFIRMLINKPATH. Regardless the current implementation already breaks POSIX and UNIX filesystem interfaces: FTS will fail to traverse /System/Volumes/Data/ correctly unless initialized with FTS_NOCHDIR and so will many tools that use it without this flag such as ls (1) and find (1). Should I re-file this as a bug in ls (1) and find (1) instead?
