I'm a bit more puzzled. I also don't see why (b) doesn't suffice. 
Certainly (b) is simpler. And I am dubious about the dlopen business in 
general; it's not needed for the other libraries coreutils dynamically 
link to, and why is libsystemd special?

Also, I don't know what the difference is between the original patch 
(which you responded to negatively) and the revised patch.
