I'm working on a similar problem with libXfont. The more I think about it,
the more problems I see and I think this is a feature, which ld must provide.
The cases where the symbol is undefined in the shared library might get
resolved with dispatch functions and code in the program which changes
the pointer which is used by the dispatch code.
