After searching the net a bit and trying out some things myself, I'm
afraid that this approach doesn't work. It does seem to do the right
thing when build and runtime version are the same, but new build -> old
runtime segfaults (because the symbol doesn't become NULL) and old build
-> new runtime segfaults (because the symbol stays NULL). Unless I
missed some build option that is different in qemu than in my test
program.
So it looks as if you had to use dlsym() instead.
