Of course the "double advantage" works only if buggy "external" was fixed ! ;-) > Maybe in compiler/link.pas:509 (TLinker.AddSharedCLibrary()). OK, I will check. Many thanks. Each day it becomes clearer. So, it I understand ok: - There are 2 ways to load a library with Unix: 1)- With ld-linux.so.2 2)- With libdl.so.2 It seems (not sure, I want confirmation) that ld-linux.so.2 is better than libdl.so.2 for speed, ressource used,... Could it be possible to imagine a different dynlibs.pas ? Actual dynlibs.pas is using libdl.so.2. Could it be possible to use ld-linux.so.2 instead (with correspondent methods, of course) ? All this if the "external" bug was not fixed. Otherwise, if the "external" bug is fixed, a custom name/path of the library may be used (and so have the advantage of a "dynlibs" way).
