"Reality doesn't support the assumptions around I designed my code,

dlmopen is a Sun/Solaris extension, that isn't POSIX, and other systems
implement it if and as they wish. It's also not available on a number of
other Unix systems. For example it's not supported by Android's bionic
libc, and that's on Linux...

It only got implemented in GNU Libc 2.3.4, in 2005. I guess before that,
even GNU/Linux was brainlessly designed... *rolls eyes*
