Why does the kernel care?

Unless I am mistaken the kind of information you are describing is
typically dealt with by the dynamic linker, rather than the kernel.

As a general strategy I think it is smart to leave as much to
userspace and the dynamic linker and possible intead of asking
the kernel's elf loader to care.  That allows more rapid
prototyping and reduces the impact of parsing bugs.
