I've been looking for some users to prioritize this work :-)
I have a use case -
I posted here earlier about the segregated linking work I've been doing
built on top of dlmopen() for improved steam runtime portability.
I've got a more detailed write-up in progress here:
https://people.collabora.com/~vivek/dynamic-linking/monkeypatched-dynamic-linking.pdf
I curently have to do some tricks with patchelf to enable older (pre v17.x)
versions of Mesa with the segregated linker, but a working dlmopen+RTLD_GLOBAL
would make my life easier.
