I was aware of this. We wanted to have a standard's base loading interface in
RTEMS so other users like CFe which supports dlopen can support dynamic loading.

I really think we can make the libdl code work for cexp. I may need to add
support for loading dependences, the libc problem, but this is a good thing for
libdl to have. At the moment I do not see this happening until early next and I
hope I can figure out a way to arrange time to get it done.
