Euhm... am i correct in thinking that this ld.elf_so is loaded once every 
time a program is started and then disapears when the programs exits?

If so.... why not `just' do a `glob()' in the paths containing the library 
files and remember them in f.e. a linked list (or hashtable or ...) and 
only search in that structure? are we really even _wanting_ to be able to 
load a library that has `just' been created while the program is starting 
up? or otherwise just use it for startup?
