It appears that glibc's loader is like Windows loader, and if it's
looking for libfoo and there's already some library called libfoo
loaded then it will short-circuit the regular library lookup rules and
use whatever libfoo was previously found, even if that is not the
libfoo that would be found now using the currently relevant lookup
rules. IMO this is a bug, plus it appears to be documented absolutely
nowhere (at least on Windows this is a well-documented misfeature),
but we'll see what upstream says...
