--- Comment #1 from Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com> ---
The larger problem (more precise namespace control for dlopen) is related to
bug 16881, except that concerns glibc-internal dlopen use.

The general is case is very difficult because some libraries need
process-global variables to reflect the process-global state.  POSIX file
locking is the prime example: a library may want to implement per-thread locks
on top of POSIX file locks, and this requires that the auxiliary lock table
exists only once per process.
