Comment (by sbs):

 Hello! My apologies for a late reply and having neglected this ticket for
 quite some time. I was rightfully prodded by hellais to explain what we
 exactly need and I understand that any way in which this is simpler is
 easier for you guys to maintain. Long story short, what we need is the
 following: a single static library compiled with `-fPIC` and a header. (I
 do understand that having a shared library is probably a nice value
 proposition for people that perhaps wants to link to Tor, but I can also
 feel that it would complicate the build, so, since we do not need it, I
 would not advocate for it.) Thanks! :-)
