 rtld(1) is in libexec/rtld-aout.  This is only built if OBJFORMAT == 
 aout.
 
 I don't know this chunk of the system.  The proper fix might be to 
 have an aout specific dlopen(3) and an ELF specific dlopen(3).  If
 you enquire on -hackers we can probably work out the best course of
 action.

  [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed,
  non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs
  the links.
