True. The behavior was made configurable in release-2-1b~129 (add
lt_dlopenadvise() to allow callers to request, among other things,
local or global symbol visibility, 2007-05-08) and the current
default comes from release-1-9b~119 (Don't load libraries with global
symbol resolution, 2004-03-24).
How about this patch?
Thanks,
Jonathan
