There's no portable C solution.

Of course, this is complete nonsense.

All that is required is to parse a binary file, and this can be done in
100% portable C.

The same code can be used to parse shared/static libraries on all implementations of C? How was a single uniform library file format established? When? By whom? Who's responsible for executing anyone who might otherwise dare to define a new, incompatible library file format? How did they get rid of all of the legacy systems using different file formats?
