In the same way that we don't explain how fopen() works on your
platform, we also don't tell you how dlopen works.  We assume that you
can read your system documentation for such information.  You also
commit the sin of not telling us what platform you're working on.

On the SPARC, you will want to use --export-dynamic with GNU ld, if
you're using it.  This is documented, but different from Sun's
/bin/ld.  Other than that, it should just work.
