I tried xorg-server-1.9.5, and it says in hw/xfree86/loader/dlloader.c: /* * Once upon a time, X had multiple loader backends, three of which were * essentially libdl reimplementations. This was nonsense so we chucked * it, but we still retain the factorization between loader API and * platform implementation. This file is the libdl implementation, and * currently the only backend.
