Description knotwell 1999-08-21 07:30:01 UTC

According to the Open Group's Unix specification, a developer should
be able to call dlopen using the RTLD_GLOBAL and RTLD_LOCAL settings.
These settings are currently missing from dlfcn.h and there doesn't
appear to be supporting code for this functionality.

RTLD_GLOBAL and RTLD_LOCAL have been supported since FreeBSD-4.0. 
I recommend that you upgrade to a recent version of FreeBSD to get 
this functionality.  The FreeBSD-3.x branch is for all practical 
purposes obsolete, and I do not plan to backport these features to 
3.x.
