I don't think that the basic libraries which are needed in order to run any MSEgui application (libc, libm, libpthread, libX11...) should be loaded by dlopen()/dlsym(). I exclusively use dlopen()/dlsym() for libraries which are not mandatory. Free Pascal should allow to define the SONAME source in binding unit - using dlopen()/dlsym() instead is a hack IMHO.
