This is fine if you can recompile a program against a new version of the library, but if you just want to relink it doesn't work well. This is actually while common when a .so is replaced with a newer version in a system without rebulding the world.

Some languages have, like ADA I think, have first class support for runtime sized, stack allocated types, so it might work there.
