This strikes me as highly platform specific to the Linux and possibly
FreeBSD implementations of ELF; it likely will not work with Solaris ELF,
which handles dynamic symbols differently (or at least used to), and will
not work with non-ELF platforms (OS X, Windows) and probably won't work
with a non-GNU ld such as is used on Solaris and OS X.
