Sure! I'm going to use that mymod example.

 1. Start emacs 26.3 with:
    "~/programs/emacs/emacs-26.3/src/emacs -Q"

 2. Run in *scratch* (or minibuffer):
    (load "/home/sanel/programs/emacs/module-test/mymod.so")

 Loading without ".so" extesions also works.

 3. This will return 't'.

 4. After mymod.so is loaded, 'mymod-test' function should be defined.

 5. In *scratch* or minibuffer, running: (fboundp 'mymod-test) => nil.

Also, evaliuating '(mymod-test)' will throw this error:

  Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function mymod-test)
    (mymod-test)
    eval((mymod-test) nil)
    elisp--eval-last-sexp(t)
    eval-last-sexp(t)
    eval-print-last-sexp(nil)
    funcall-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp nil)
    call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp nil nil)
    command-execute(eval-print-last-sexp)


Replicating the same steps in emacs 27.2, in the step 4. it will
return 't' and when '(mymod-test)' is called, it will return 42.

Best regards,
Sanel
