There was a problem hiding this comment.
There is also BIND_SPECIAL_DYLIB_MAIN_EXECUTABLE. However, I suspect this is more geared towards the case where the symbols are actually in the main executable which is not the case for the libpython use case.

@Bigcheese Bruno and I talked about this in Kona 2019, but I can't seem to find his GitHub handle. |

I don't think Apple pays attention to github pull requests, so I filed FB10995337 in their bugtracker. |
This causes all symbols found in the specified library to be looked up at load time. The library itself is not linked by the output library at all. The main use case for this is creating compiled modules for dynamic languages (e.g., Ruby or Python) where the application loading the module provides the interpreter's symbols. This allows the compiled module to be agnostic to the installation of the interpreter. That is, it can link against the Apple-provided Python, but be run with an Anaconda-provided interpreter.
