That's a good plan for master, and WiP is at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/11737

*But* I wouldn't do that in the stable branch... Additionally to timing issues (that is, when will the full "kill the dlopen()" be done?), it is a rather bigger change, and instead of making many changes everywhere, I'd rather the dlopen mechanism (that is, the whole svx/dbtoolsclient) just didn't do the dlopen(); that's *one* change in *one* place, "neutering" the mechanism instead of killing it (that is, essentally making it a no-op instead of changing every place that calls it to not call it).

You mean "$(call gb_Library__get_name,cui)" will expand to "mergedlib" (or something like that) in the --enable-mergedlib case?
