dlopen/dlclose(3) is deficient in at least two ways, possibly three:

1. It assumes that if the path is the same, the file is the same.
   This makes it impossible to update VMODs in place by any means.

2. It doesn't map the dlopen'ed object in copy-on-write mode.
   This makes things explode if you try anyway, without a rename-guard.

3. It doesn't handle atexit(3) from dlopen(3)'ed code correctly on dlclose(3)
   This makes gcov(1) and friends explode.  The fault could be said to be
   on their part though:  atexit(3) from symlinked code is undefined.

Since there is no sensible way to work around this, live with it, and
rely on whatever check dlopen(3) uses for identity, rather than have
our own name-comparison.
