True, but such code changes in xz would be much easier to audit than all the dynamic loading shenanigans, even if obfuscated in the build system. The GNU's dynamic loader specially has grown to be very complicated (having all these OOP-like polymorphism features on linker / loader level ...) and I think we should tone down the usage of dynamic linking as I see it as low hanging fruit for attacks in general.
