apr_dso_load with RTLD_LAZY and RTLD_LOCAL

[Alexander Broekhuis <a....@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Currently there is only apr_dso_load which loads libraries globally
(RTLD_GLOBAL) and resolves everything direct (RTLD_NOW). Is there an
alternative for which I can define the flags myself?
The documentation of 1.4 states: Bug: We aught to provide an
alternative to RTLD_GLOBAL, which is the only supported method of
loading DSOs today.

Some progress on this?

Thanks in advance

 At least providing a way for specifying different load flags can be 
 useful,
 and having even RTLD_LOCAL might be a recommended default in many cases

 Recently I ran into a problem connected with these flags developing
 mod_rivet. This sort of trouble occurred in a weird way and it was a
 real waste of time to track it down. The discussion that followed on
 the Tcl Core Team dev list came to the conclusion that the problems
 RTLD_GLOBAL was meant to address could be solved in different and more
 consistent ways, the choice didn't return enough advantages to break
 even with the drawbacks and was potentially harmful. See
