Perfect,
that clue just did it, turns out RetroShare uses g++ for linking
which has a slightly different parameter -rdynamic instead of
-export-dynamic.
Setting this option while linking the RetroShare binary brings
the symbol in the "dynamic exported" table and lets the binary
finally load the plugin.

Thanks Konstantin for your input.
