If you want something that can be both dlopened and linked with, use
-export-dynamic, not -module. The downside is that you won't be able
to remove the lib prefix, but then, that's because you're creating a
library, not a module.
I'm not sure need_lib_prefix is really supposed to address this
particular issue. My recollection is that is was introduced just
because there might be dynamic loaders that would fail to load
libraries whose names didn't start with lib.
But I wouldn't mind having need_lib_prefix set such that one could
link modules into programs/libraries.
