RTLD_GLOBAL for DSO?

Would anybody object to the following patch?

 #else
 #if defined(OSF1) ||\
     (defined(__FreeBSD_version) && (__FreeBSD_version >= 220000))
-    return dlopen((char *)path, RTLD_NOW);
+    return dlopen((char *)path, RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL);
 #else
-    return dlopen(path, RTLD_NOW);
+    return dlopen(path, RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL);
 #endif
 #endif
 }

Both mod_php3 and mod_perl would benefit from this since both are capable
of being loaded dynamically and in turn loading other things dynamically.

If you do:

#ifndef RTLD_GLOBAL
#define RTLD_GLOBAL 0
#endif

Then I'm for it.
