-lslang and -lnewt looks for 
libslang.so and libnewt.so, unless -static is given, and 
creates a ELF executable that has a symbol requesting the soname
that libslang.so and libnewt.so gives.

for example, building against

$ objdump -x /usr/lib/libslang.so |grep SONAME
  SONAME      libslang.so.1-UTF8

and
$ objdump -x /usr/lib/libnewt.so | grep SONAME
  SONAME      libnewt.so.0.50

will give a binary that requests:

$ objdump -p dbootstrap-lc |grep NEEDED
  NEEDED      libnewt.so.0.50
  NEEDED      libslang.so.1-UTF8
  NEEDED      libc.so.6


as simple as that.

And AFAIK, boot-floppies re-creates a .so from the PIC 
data, with the name written in the NEEDED.
