Glad to hear that! We are always interested in new developers helping
with the project.

I am not aware of any implementation of lazy library loading for GNU/Linux.

So the next question I have is: What problem are you trying to solve?

One of the most expensive operation is symbol binding and that is
already deferred by lazy symbol resolution.

Why do you need lazy library loading?

Have you experimented with this and do you have any relative
performance numbers?

Cheers,
Carlos.
