I really don't understand why compiling and linking the optimised solvers into MAME is worse than building the netlist descriptions into MAME, which we already do.

Yes, but the fact that it looks for and potentially loads a shared library from the working directory is a security issue in itself. Why can't it look for a solver specifically for the matrix size and occupation distribution in the executable itself?
