ld stops loading but dl continues despite the error.
you might be seeing lazy relocation.  do you get different behavior if you
export LD_BIND_NOW=1 ?

It makes no difference. I tried with it and LD_DEBUG=all and here's what I see in log after the omp_ symbol is not found for libC:

19225:
19225: calling init: /media/EXT/libC.so
     19225:

it calls init for the non-initialized libC.so module.

(Just to mention libX.so is the base module that calls dlopen and also contains basic methods used by all other libs.)

After destroying link map for libA the log shows that it is generated again, I just don't understand if loader continues to load libA or starts from scratch this time without bothering about libB/libC. Well, it ignores libB/libC in any case until init is calledfor libC.

Thanks, Sergey.
