This is something that's been bothering me for a while, ever since I fixed the symbol conflicts in Mozilla with -Bsymbolic. Why do we not look in the referencing object first by default? I'm referring to the great comments in the symlook_default() function in rtld.c. We only check the referencing object first when -Bsymbolic is passed to the linker.
The main reason I'm asking is that I just tracked down another symbol conflict in a dlopen'd library that plagues us but not Linux. I assume there was a good reason for resolving symbols in the order we do, but admittedly, I don't understand enough of the linker to know what it is. Thanks.
