Modern VM systems don't load a library into memory multiple times for
different executable images. mmap() is pretty intelligent.
Library interfaces are pretty portable. Writing your own library
loader is a lot less so, and it's not really a problem that needs
to be solved.
My two cents on the rest of this thread? Suggesting features is
no big deal. If there's pretty minimal features that are off by
default, what's the complaint? A few more things to skip in the
man page? More code paths not being followed on your machine,
leading to another 37 bytes of wasted memory?
