I tried to use prebuilt targets as you suggest here but the problem is 
that I want to link with a _list_ of libraries. When specifying the name 
of the library however, you can only specify one name like this:

lib all_system_libs : : <name>nsl <search>$(SYS_LIB_PATH) ;

So here is only one library listed. So what I would like to do is soth. 
like the following:

lib all_system_libs : : <name>"nsl dl readline" <search>$(SYS_LIB_PATH) ;
