somedays I don't include details and I get railed at .. other days I do 
and I get railed at .. life goes on.

yep .. I would think a foo.s is what is needed and as you say m4 had to
  pre-process the input from somewhere else first.

sorry .. lost me there.

This is all that is left as NEEDED in the output final libs :

v9_7++ $ elfdump -devl  /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.10.3.2 | grep "NEED"
        [0]  NEEDED            0x2c4f              libc.so.1
       [12]  VERNEED           0x8520
       [13]  VERNEEDNUM        0x1

v9_7++ $ elfdump -devl /usr/local/lib/libgmpxx.so.4.5.2 | grep "NEED"
        [0]  NEEDED            0x229f              libgmp.so.10
        [1]  NEEDED            0x2283              libc.so.1
       [13]  VERNEED           0x3d20
       [14]  VERNEEDNUM        0x1

Very minimal.  Very very terribly slow.
