Comment (by bonefish):
One has to wonder how libfreestyle.so could even be linked, given that the
BeOS gcc/binutils toolchain linked symbolically and didn't support
undefined symbols. Hence it was assumed that searching the direct
dependencies for unresolved symbols was sufficient for BeOS executables,
which is [http://cgit.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/system/runtime_loader/elf_symbol_lookup.cpp?id=05a922cd4da0be9b032ca14b47504fc297dc9e24#n298
how it is implemented] ATM.
A solution would be to fall back to the regular symbol resolution, when
the BeOS style resolution fails. This also allows us to split BeOS
libraries without breaking BeOS apps that linked against them.
