G'day,

does NetBSD handle the special dlsym() handle argument RTLD_NEXT? dlfnc.h
doesn't define it, so my assumption is that it doesn't. 

/* If the first argument of `dlsym` is set to RTLD_NEXT the run-time
   address of the symbol called NAME in the next shared object is
   returned.  The "next" relation is defined by the order the
   shared objects were loaded.  */
#define RTLD_NEXT       ((void *) -1)

Any chance of implementing this into NetBSD? If not, what are the
reasons for not having it?

A happy New Year,

cheerio Berndt
