How to link a dynamic .so library to create a static executable?

This turned out to be way more complicated that I've anticipated so I've dropped it.

In the end I've found an easier alternative:

I've installed the Android NDK (not SDK) on my linux computer and configured it for arm64.
That enabled me to compile my own ELF executable linked to the above library and the Android libs.
Since I had root access on the scope I've used the scope as my testing platform: I've transferred to the scope a statically linked gdb (arm64) and
then I've traced my testing programs until I found all the info I needed to create the scope options.
So now the scope is enhanced with all the options.
