Not only that, but the runtime linker does not work in a "hierarchical"
fashion--ie, if you define a symbol local to some lib.so, and a symbol
with the same name is defined in the base binary, there is no
guarantee that the lib.so will pickup it's *own* symbol when trying to
resolve it.
This is a very nasty problem with porting software to Linux right now.
