Should this not be the job of the dynamic linker to resolve libraries
instead of the app messing with it?
No, the dynamic does assume that the app know the soname (it is a bad
idea to pass things like "libfoo.so" without the full soname to the
dynamic linker, because you don't know what ABI you'll get; and anyway
it doesn't work for glibc).
So, it is the job of the VM to insulate this from Smalltalk programs.
Then they can do
DLD addLibrary: 'libc'
rather than
DLD addLibrary: 'libc.so.6'
or
DLD addLibrary: 'libSystem.dylib'
and so on.
