OK, it looks like we should try harder to detect dlopen scenarios during
runtime to avoid build-time switches. This is likely Xenomai 3 material:

 - We need to disable TLS optimizations by default (no big deal).

 - In the POSIX skin constructor, we need to read out the mlockall
   state, lock everything if necessary, and restore the state
   accordingly afterward. The Nucleus may help us here if there is no
   adequate libc service (ABI change -> Xenomai 3).

 - IIRC, the problem with unconditional auto-shadowing back then were
   the improper scheduling parameters that POSIX used to apply. That
   was fixed a while back. So if we simple re-apply the current
   parameters, it should cause no harm in a dlopen scenario. But I need
   to check this again at work against our scenario.
