static libs imported into DSO?

[Kent Watsen]

Hi all,

I have simple application that I want to link a
plugin into.  The intent is for the plugin the
use the same libraries linked into the main app,
but instead the plugin is linking in its own copy!
This code works as expected using gcc on OpenBSD.
What am I doing wrong?  Can I tell the linker to
ignore unresolved symbols and rld will be ok?

int main(void) {
   int   dl;
   Func* func;
   int   result;

   setVal(5);
   printf("val = %d\n", getVal());

   dl = dlopen("./dynamiclib.so");
   if (dl == 0) {
     printf("dlopen failed\n");
     return 1;
   }

   func = (Func*)dlsym(dl, "foo");
   if (func == 0) {
     printf("dlsym failed\n");
     return 1;
   }

   func();

   result = dlclose(dl);
   if (result != 0) {
     printf("dlclose failed\n");
     return 1;
   }

   return 0;
}
