This is probably why it wont be committed. If it uses dlopen() then it
cannot work for the statically linked /bin/ls, /bin/sh, etc. Anything in /
sbin or /bin will never be able to see the usernames. If you built the
entire system with NOSHARED=NO, then /bin/ls, /bin/sh etc will be dynamically
linked and the patches will probably work. However, you had better have
/usr on your root (/) file system or you wont be able to boot. Linux's
solution is to put the ld.so and libc.so onto the / partition in /lib.
