Comment (by rwbarton):

 Oh, hmm, I actually looked at the code and we do already inspect the error
 string from `dlopen` and try to parse a linker script. The problem is that
 we don't support `INPUT(-llibrary)`. I guess we can transform the name to
 `liblibrary.so` in that case?

 I still would like to avoid incurring dependencies on `.so`s that are
 really linker scripts, if possible...
