I tried a few experiments, and it looks like
you can probably open most of these,
provided:
1. I add the RTLD_GLOBAL flag when I call C's dlopen()
on Linux. I can do this for the next release. If you can't wait,
you can read the Linux man page for dlopen() and try to wrap
the dlopen() function yourself. You should call it as:
lib = dlopen(dll_name, RTLD_LAZY | RTLD_GLOBAL);
RTLD_GLOBAL makes symbols from one .so available to
subsequently-loaded .so's.
2. You would have to manually pre-open any .so's that the main .so
requires that aren't opened automatically.

When I sent you my dsearch program for Linux that opened .so
files and searched for routines; I asked at that time
about the RTLD_GLOBAL and other flags and you said my
problems were not caused by the interpeter ?
