Regardless of how it comes about that you're doing a particular dlopen,
you really need to know the exact ABI of the symbols you're using, and
that goes with a precise SONAME and a symbol version set.  So if you
think you know a symbol name and the appropriate ABI for it without
knowing a precise SONAME and symbol version set too, you're just wrong.
