Comment (by pggauvin):

 I'm glad you both caught that, it must have been leftover from porting our
 old Makefiles that were for Linux, and I just continued using it for the
 shared libraries.

 Here are instructions for the attachment:

 To generate code that causes the `dlopen` failure (omitting the override
 of `LIB_OPTS` will result in the test succeeding):
 {{{
 make clean all LIB_OPTS=-fPIC
 }}}

 Test with QEMU:
 {{{
 qemu-system-arm -m 256M -M xilinx-zynq-a9 -serial null \
   -serial mon:stdio -nographic -no-reboot \
   -kernel ./libdl-global-var-test.exe
 }}}

 One curiosity is that if the generated `lib.o` is loaded, rather than
 `lib.so`, there are unresolved symbols after the load. I haven't looked
 into why, but usually the plain object file is fine (the dl-01 test uses
 it, but also doesn't load global variables). This can be tested by
 changing line 15 of `libdl-global-var-test.c` to `#define LIB_FILE_NAME
 "/lib.o"`. The tar file loaded at run-time contains both files, so no
 other changes are necessary.

 Development environment (I forgot to include this in the original
 description):
