-	<answer>
-	  <para>The ELF toolchain does not, by default, make the symbols
-	    defined in an executable visible to the dynamic linker.
-	    Consequently <function>dlsym()</function> searches on

-
-	  <para>If you want to search, using
-	    <function>dlsym()</function>, for symbols present in the
-	    main executable of a process, you need to link the
-	    executable using the <option>--export-dynamic</option>
