Fiddling with all options again, it turned out that the issue is also reproducible without any dlopen. This ordering is fine: -lpthread_rt -lxenomai This one does not work: -lxenomai -lpthread_rt Now the problematic ordering can be achieved in many ways, in our case by linking a top-level process first against a library with native+xenomai dependencies and then against one with pthread_rt+xenomai deps. That is resolvable by reordering, but only if you maintain this meta-information consistently (IOW, it's doomed to break accidentally again). So I've pushed a patch that replaces the code with a comment that explains the non-existence. Jan -- Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, CT T DE IT 1 Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux
