Just mentioning libtool puts the details beyond my understanding!

Then it looks like you'll have to use one of the setdlopenflags()
hacks.  ;-(  Just make sure you re-set the flags once you've done the
necessary imports.

This does reinforce the value of building the interpreter with many of
the standard modules built into the executable rather than dynamically
loaded.  Especially things like libz, since there are so many other
libraries that use them.
