Why should it?  It can only hurt.  I find the whole option pointless.
The programmer has no control over the order in the search scope.  Every
DSO can be marked this way.  As soon as more than one is marked (or
LD_PRELOAD is also used) all the effects are negated.

I haven't looked at the implementation yet since I first would like to
know what this option should be good for?
