But note, that the dynamic_symbols section is not affected by that option,
and nevertheless contains all symbols that were global at link time. I
don't know right now, which section is used by libltdl to look for symbols
which need binding. If it's the dynamic section the problem does not go
away that easily. I don't have time right now to test. Tomorrow.


Ciao,
