OpenJDK can have several jvm variants (like server, client, minimal).
Each of variants contains its own version of libjvm.so lib.
jdk/bin/java
jdk/lib/server/libjvm.so
jdk/lib/client/libjvm.so
jdk/lib/minimal/libjvm.so
When java is executed it first loads libjvm.so for the requested variant
using dlopen() with RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL flags [1] and then
loads libraries from jdk/lib dir with dlopen() and RTLD_LAZY flag.
To make it works with musl JDK implements workaround where
it puts libjvm.so into LD_LIBRARY_PATH [2] and re-executes itself.
Is there a better way to handle the case where an application
with several lib variants can load common libraries
without changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
