> How far did you get with implementing this?

Not very far. We had a prototype, but it proved trickier than we expected, and
in particular the semantics of dlclose() on such in-memory object proved
unclear.

I am currently working on a dlopen_with_offset(), which is just like dlopen,
but with a given offset into the file.

That would meet our actual needs, but necessarily those of UPX or gcc/jit.
