The core lt_dlinit/lt_dlopen/lt_dlsym/lt_dlclose/lt_dlexit API remains unchanged since

New calls have been added to exploit richer semantics and new features over the 
years... user loader discipline management, library search path maintenance etc.

I am sure that new features will continue to creep in over time, and new API entry 
points will be added, but I would be very surprised if binary compatibility were 
broken.

Cheers,
