No, it's not per system, but per package/program. Suppose there are 
libraries A and B which both export symbol X. One program needs symbol 
X from library A, and another one from library B, but both need both 
libraries A and B for other symbols.

You then simply cannot assign a weight to A and B so that it works 
correctly in all cases.
