they do? I couldn’t any flag in that direction.

I just tried a few combinations with a simple testprogram (git repo
attached, every commit is one state). Unfortunately, using dlopen does
not not help if some other shared library loads gmp regularly; there is
still only one global state. And statically linking gmp into the share
object does not work, as Simon predicted, because the static gmp library
is not compiled with PIC. The promising ld option "-Bgroup" does not
seem to have the desired effect.

If only dlopen had RTDL_PRIVATE support...

Greetings,
Joachim
