glibc HEAD NEWS has:

I have not yet looked at the exact semantics.  But we can look if we can
support this (and maybe also add the semantics to ltdl-preopened libtool
libraries).

Furthermore, wrap
| New functions `dladdr1' and `dlinfo' in <dlfcn.h> provide more ways to

because in some cases ltdl can provide some of the additional
information.  Actually, I haven't looked at the specs, so maybe all we
need to do is nothing/just use the new functions if they are available.

After all, Libtool is GNU software, and should work nicely on GNU
systems, right?

Ralf
