About libdl.so:
libdl.so is a dynamic linking library that is generally of use only for porting applications. If you are porting a BeOS application that requires dlopen, dlclose, dlerror, dlsym, dladdr, or dlfcn.h, then you can use this library.
libdl.so is a wrapper to the add-on functions with the semantics of the dl (dynamic linking) library. This is used for finding shared objects at run time. If the items are not found the program can continue to run.
It is extremely similar to the add-on mechanism in BeOS with some semantics changes. If you are developing your own app, you almost definitely want to use add-ons unless you are already familiar with libdl. In this case you may be disappointed since it is possible that I have implemented part of it wrong.
If you want your application to have cross platform compatibility with this functionality you should probably use libtool instead. It is much more cross platform compatible than dlopen, etc. It also supports BeOS. See related links.
This works for my port so it will hopefully work for yours. Feel free to give me feedback on what doesn't work like you expect. I built the included intel library, and Brian Francis helpfully built the included ppc library. As usual, source included.

Details about this version:
This version adds the super-duper beos-only "stubs" extension.
First made popular in mozilla, stubs are a way to work-around
the beos system-wide 32 MB add-on limit. :-/
It also adds some fixes for our general functionality by
using stack based allocation.
