Well, if two shared libraries can't be used without each other, then the
first question that should be answered is why haven't the two libraries
been linked together into one shared library?  All the circular dependency
ensures is that nothing linked against them can be prelinked, the libraries
use together more memory than a combined library would need, takes longer
to load, etc.
If both libraries come from the same src.rpm, then you probably can use
libtool's convenience libraries.
