I'm wondering how to best warn people who have their project
build rely on RTLD_GLOBAL that what they are doing is inherently
non-portable.

At first I thought about having the call to lt_dladvise_global
emit a warning to stderr on first call, but that affects users
as well as developers.

Now I'm thinking the best we can do is flag it in the release
notes, the NEWS file and the manual.

Cheers,
        Gary
