lazy loading for glibc?

Hi all,

Does glibc have the ability to do lazy loading like Solaris libc?

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/817-1984/chapter3-27/index.html

Has anyone worked on this before?

The essential components appear to be:

ld -z lazyload
dlsym(RTLD_PROBE, "function_name")

This would allow shared libraries to become optional, which would be
useful for various reasons.
