The ld in gas-950313 will load the same shared library twice. Has
anyone worked on it? If noone does, I may take a shot at it. I
don't know if my fix will be correct or not since I am not that
familiar with ld and bfd. BTW, I have some simple code which checks
if a shared library is already loaded or not. But I don't know how
to skip the second one. It seems to need changes in many places.
