What is the problem this feature would solve?

requirement of many distros for distribution packaging. example policy from gentoo: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Why_not_bundle_dependencies

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

implement an option to use pkg-config for providing dependencies:

  • base64
  • boringssl (allow using openssl?)
  • c-ares
  • libarchive
  • lolhtml
  • mimalloc
  • picohttp
  • sqlite
  • tinycc
  • usockets
  • uws
  • zlib
  • zstd

pkg-config returns flags for dependencies as needed, e.g. on my system:

$ pkg-config --libs --cflags zlib   
 -L/lib -lz

simply, don't ensure dependencies are built as expected in your current workflow, and get the needed flags from pkg-config.

What alternatives have you considered?
