 Sorry, but it's nonsense.

 $ grep -r %{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so *

 devel/e2fsprogs.spec:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 FC-1/e2fsprogs.spec:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 FC-2/e2fsprogs.spec:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 FC-3/e2fsprogs.spec:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 FC-4/e2fsprogs.spec:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 FC-5/e2fsprogs.spec:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 FC-5/e2fsprogs.spec~:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 FC-6/e2fsprogs.spec:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 RHEL-4/e2fsprogs.spec:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 RHEL-5/e2fsprogs.spec:%{_root_libdir}/libblkid.so.*
 
 (where %{_root_libdir} = /lib)

 It's dynamically linked in many distributions without a problem.
