That should work. libA won't really be unloaded, since ld.so
is supposed to track dependancies between DSOs.
More interesting, however, is libA and libB dlopen'ed, but without
RTLD_GLOBAL. In this case, neither DSO adds their symbols to the
global pool, so they don't resolve symbols between themselves.
The weak trick doesn't work there.
