Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:
	Use of the run-time linker for shared objects seems to blow up on
	alpha.
>How-To-Repeat:
/*** create the following shared object ***/
/* Compile with: gcc -shared -o foo.so */
int dynsym(void)
{
    return 1;
}


/*** create the following executable ***/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    void *handle;
    int (*fptr)(void);

    if (!(handle = dlopen("./foo.so", RTLD_LAZY))) {
        printf("dlopen() failed: %s\n", dlerror());
        exit(1);
    }

    if (!(fptr = dlsym(handle, "dynsym"))) {
        printf("failed to find dynsym: %s\n", dlerror());
    }

    printf("Value of dynsym is %ld\n", fptr());

    dlclose(handle);

    return 0;
}
>Fix:
	Took a look, and this is beyond me.
