Comment (by pggauvin):

 Dropping `-fPIC` actually seems to resolve the `dlopen` failure.

 I'll still post the example program and Makefile so the error can be
 reproduced.

 With `-fPIC`:
 {{{
 Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x96c contains 4 entries:
  Offset     Info    Type            Sym.Value  Sym. Name
 00000020  00001419 R_ARM_BASE_PREL   00000000   _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
 00000024  0000121a R_ARM_GOT_BREL    00000004   global_variable
 00000040  00001419 R_ARM_BASE_PREL   00000000   _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
 00000044  0000121a R_ARM_GOT_BREL    00000004   global_variable
 }}}

 Without `-fPIC`:
 {{{

  Offset     Info    Type            Sym.Value  Sym. Name
