> File systems dedupe now
Huh? is there a citation to that assertion perhaps for a particular instance?
as far as I know zfs[1] and btrfs[2] support dedupe.

File systems dedupe now, right? IIRC, per storage block.
What if linkers aligned dependencies to the storage block boundaries?
Then let the file system find and dedupe those libraries.
A bit like applying the alignment of data structures in memory (to optimize performance) at the expense of size inefficiency.
