Hi,

It should be inside libkdeinit_bla.la.

As bla.la is linked against libkdeinit_bla.la which contains kdemain, this
symbol should be available for dlsym() on a dlopen()'ed bla.la (even if
loaded RTLD_LOCAL).  If that's not the case I would find that a bug in
dlsym.  Possibly we have to workaround that then by placing another
forwarder function also into the KLM, and not only into the executable.

Declaration isn't enough.  It must be a new forwarder function.


Ciao,
