Not sure why it isn't working for you.  I tried the following example, it
definitely works on my Red Hat box:

[jsturm@suzy tmp]$ cat dltest.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

int x = 5;

int main(void) {
  void *handle;
  int *p;

  handle = dlopen(NULL, RTLD_GLOBAL);
  p = dlsym(handle, "x");
  if (p)
    printf("%x\n", *p);
  else
    fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", dlerror());
  return 0;
}
[jsturm@suzy tmp]$ gcc -Wall dltest.c -o dltest -Wl,--export-dynamic -ldl
[jsturm@suzy tmp]$ ./dltest
5
