   Isn't libtool supposed do deal with this for us ???

This might well be a solution.  I don't know the details about the
libtool dlopen support.  I don't know whether it works on systems
which do not support shared libraries at all.

Note that libiberty does not currently use libtool, and that as far as
I know the libtool dlopen support is not yet released.  Also,
libiberty is compiled in a limited cross configuration to provide
supporting functions for libstdc++.  Rather than cope with this, it
might be easier to lift any dynamic loading support out of libiberty.
