I still don't know why it doesn't "just work". But here is a somewhat
less crude hack. OK to apply? Fixing this could maybe be more nicely
be done in ltdl.c, but I would like to defer that until after 2.2, and
with this I don't see any obvious semantic downsides.
FWIW, this patch requires that LT_INIT is expanded before LTDL_INIT.
Thanks,

* libltdl/m4/ltdl.m4 (_LTDL_SETUP): Define
LTDL_DLOPEN_SELF_WORKS, depending upon lt_cv_dlopen_self.
* libltdl/loaders/dlopen.c (vm_open) [!LTDL_DLOPEN_SELF_WORKS]:
Fail for dlopen(NULL), so that the preopen loader is used. This
fixes mdemo-exec.test failures on AIX where dlopen(NULL)
succeeds but dlsym resolves no symbol.
* NEWS: Update.
Report by Rainer Tammer.
