I have now checked ReactOS' code: if you load an exe that is not the
main executable then the entry point won't be called at all. So it
seems that you can load such executables and call functions from them,
but in the case of FPC you might be screwed (or at least very
restricted) as the initialization sections of the units won't be run
(this includes the system unit which initializes the heap, io, etc.).
Thanks for that, I'm currently looking at the situation on x86 Linux
since I think it's worth progressing this while the thread's fresh.
I don't think this is doing to work on Linux. I know that a shared
library can open the main program by referring to '' (and am using
this), but trying to pass the name of a different program fails with "No
such file or directory" and no useful error message from dl.
