Indeed, and they closed my bug report about it as invalid. I've
refiled the bug with binutils, which has the -z nodelete option,
requesting that this option be made default. Only libraries
intentionally marked as unload-safe should be unloadable.
Anyway, unless the issue is fixed in binutils so that the vast
majority of libraries are marked non-unloadable, I don't see anything
we can do in musl. "glibc does it that way too" is not an excuse for
adding unsafe/non-robust behavior to musl.
