Comment (by staffan.spam at gimaker se):

 I was bit my this bug as well, and it really wasn't fun to track down.

 Using RTLD_GLOBAL isn't possible when using libltdl to load the DSO, since
 lt_dlopenext() doesn't expose a way to control the flags used with dlopen.

 The only fix for this is for us to maintain a patched version of any.hpp,
 that has the above workaround implemented - which seems like a hopelessly
 fragile solution.

 It doesn't seem like the GCC crowd will *ever* fix this, so can you
 '''please''' consider implementing a workaround for it in Boost?
