Hi,

VMSystem.mapLibraryName (native method implemented in
java_lang_VMSystem.c) puts: "lib" + libname
together.

The extension is handled by using: lt_dlopenext to open the lib.
This supposely adds the platform specific extension.
The lt_dlopenext call is located in file java_lang_VMRuntime.c.

NB: The native VMSystem.mapLibraryName is actually no longer necessary
as the concatenation: "lib" + libname can be done in Java... unless on
some platforms Classpath native libs do not start with "lib"?

Add a printf or temporarily hard coded at the lt_dlopenext call site.
