Oh, that's interesting. I've been struggling with "display errno",
or "display *__errno_location()" without success.

Yes, I'll try in the following days.


Also I've been looking at the specification of dlopen and it doesn't say
anything about errno and the only way to know what happened is the textual
message given by dlerror.

Thus, console-client is relying on undefined behaviour. Unfortunately,
it seems the only standard way is to parse that textual message. :-(

I guess console-client could be modified to try other directories in the
search path regardless of the reason why dlopen failed.
