It's NOT calling dlopen directly. It's calling the lt_dlopenext |
| 17 |
interface from libtool. That iterates over the possible combinations |
| 18 |
that end with ".so", and never iterates over the numbered suffixes. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
lt_dlforeachfile actully complicates it even more, but also doesn't see |
| 21 |
the numbered suffixes. |

So should you're saying that we need to change libtool's code now? |
