Comment (by bgamari):

 Actually, I hadn't previously noticed that the error isn't from the
 runtime linker at all. Rather, it is from `dlopen`. It seems that we are
 linking each individual object file into a separate shared library and
 `dlopen`ing them individually. Why? Well, I don't know, but it sure seems
 silly.
