Well, this works, but then how come I don't need the -E flag when I
link against the shared object?  That is, if I do

  gcc -o prog foo.o -R. bar.so

then bar can access the symbols in foo without -E, but if I instead
dlopen() bar.so from foo, -E is needed.  I think the semantics should be
the same for these two cases, if I specify RTLD_GLOBAL to dlopen()...
