--- Comment #2 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
We hit

void
_dl_close (void *_map)
{
  struct link_map *map = _map;

  /* First see whether we can remove the object at all.  */
  if (__builtin_expect (map->l_flags_1 & DF_1_NODELETE, 0))
    {
      assert (map->l_init_called);
      /* Nope.  Do nothing.  */
      return;

the DF_1_NODELETE flag is set already after the first dlopen call which sets
it via do_lookup_x for the STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbol _ZGVZ16make_static_stayvE3smp

                  if (map->l_type == lt_loaded)
                    /* Make sure we don't unload this object by
                       setting the appropriate flag.  */
                    ((struct link_map *) map)->l_flags_1 |= DF_1_NODELETE;

so this either points to a "bad" design on the guard code for initializing
'smp' or to a weakness in the dynamic loader which doesn't handle unloading
of objects which define any(?) STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbol.  Note the above is
guarded with

              if ((type_class & ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_COPY) != 0)
                enter (entries, size, new_hash, strtab + sym->st_name, ref,
                       undef_map);
              else
                {
                  enter (entries, size, new_hash, strtab + sym->st_name, sym,
                         map);

                  if (map->l_type == lt_loaded)
                    /* Make sure we don't unload this object by
                       setting the appropriate flag.  */
                    ((struct link_map *) map)->l_flags_1 |= DF_1_NODELETE;
                }

thus if this were referenced via a copy relocation it would work.

Jason?
