Actually one more issue -- it needs to be made thread-safe. This would
just be a matter of obtaining a read-lock on the dynamic linker lock,
except that this lock should not be held during callbacks to
application code, which need not return in bounded time. Instead, I
think it would work to read the global "tail" while a read-lock is
held, then use a loop of the form:
for (current=head; ; current=current->next) {
...
if (current == saved_tail) break;
}
This will simply skip any new libraries that were not (fully) loaded
yet at the time of the call to dl_iterate_phdr.
