Subject: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] Zend dlopen flag for new glibc
From: jorton@redhat.com (Joe Orton)

[ping]

New versions of glibc support a RTLD_DEEPBIND flag to dlopen.  The
effect of this flag when loading a "foo.so" with undefined symbols is
that the search that symbol starts at foo.so and its dependencies
*before* the loading process' global symbol table.

This is an effective workaround for symbol namespace collisions between
various modules and the libraries on which they depend (where fixing the
respective modules or libraries is not possible e.g. due to API
constraints).
