Hi Ossama,
Unfortunately we do need dlopen and dlpreopen support. We have a C++ core that
dlopens a bunch of C++ .so modules. One main reason we switched from Imake to
Automake is to allow us to use the dlpreopen functionality without rolling
our own :( We are also porting to Linux)
How much work is there to do on dl[pre]open? If it is partially there, then
I would be happy to help complete the support while I merge the new libtool
into our build process.
