 I do not like this patch at all, sorry. While I do appreciate the goal,
 the way taken here is just wrong - the locking done by rtld internally
 is just that - internal detail that is not to be paraded publicly in
 front of an an innocent outside world. Over several last years we have
 been over several lock implementations and locking semantics have
 changed subtly couple more times. Would you be willing instead to
 formulate a functional interface that rtld can expose to provide
 necessary services to add/remove dynamic objects and that will allow us
 to keep all of this dirty laundry under the wraps?

 The patch as is cannot be committed.
