I guess one way this could be "solved" would be by libpython doing a dlopen on
itself with RTLD_GLOBAL on Python initialization.
I wouldn't bet that that wouldn't end up with some very interesting unintended
consequences as w

The modules not linking against libpython CAUSES this issue, thus Debian being
affected even for old Python versions before issue21536.

As explained in Issue34814, this change not only breaks RTLD_LOCAL of
libpython, but it breaks it in fact system-wide.
It seems a bit much for Python to enforce a system-wide policy to not use
RTLD_LOCAL just because of its own technical challenges, and thus I'd ask

> In short, RTLD_LOCAL is not supported.
I am sorry, this is not a workable stance.
This does not just affect loading libpython directly.
It also affects dlopen of a library that links to a library ... that links to
libpython.
