+Subject: libdl: fix dlopen implementation from statically linked application
+
+Calling dlopen from statically linked application is actually broken,
+because _dl_find_hash enters into an infinite loop when trying to
+resolve symbols. In this case it doesn't need to extend the global
+scope, it is readyto be used as it is, because _dl_loaded_modules already points
+to the dlopened library.
+
+The patch also fixesi a typo in __LDSO_LD_LIBRARY_PATH__ macro, that was
+preventing to get the actual value of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
