Comment (by hgolden):
At least on Gentoo, I think this can be dealt with as follows:
1. In Linker.c if dlopen fails, search the file with a regular expression
that would recognize "GROUP ( ... )" where ... is the important part. In
Gentoo, when a .so file contains a linker script, the actual file is
specified by the GROUP ( ... ).
1. If this is found, try the dlopen again using the filename.
1. If this fails, report an error.
I'm not familiar with debian or debian-based distros. Do they use a
similar approach? If so, a regular expression search for their filename in
the script could be added as well.
