Misha Brukman 3ce4ac62a0 The RTLD_GLOBAL flag allows symbols to be globally accessible, which makes
resolution of symbols in the .so possible (currently assists debugging with
bugpoint).

//===-- PluginLoader.cpp - Implement -load command line option ------------===//
//
// This file implements the -load <plugin> command line option processor. When
// linked into a program, this new command line option is available that allows
// users to load shared objects into the running program.
//
// Note that there are no symbols exported by the .o file generated for this
// .cpp file. Because of this, a program must link against support.o instead of
// support.a: otherwise this translation unit will not be included.
//
