Isn't that kinda to be expected if you want to provide dynamic loading functionality (dlopen)?

Is the windows situation really all that different/better (with GetProcAddress in kernel32.dll)?

ld.so is a component of glibc!

  $ /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
  /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: missing program name
  Try '/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help' for more information.
  !1!
  $ /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --version
  ld.so (GNU libc) stable release version 2.34.
