static libs imported into DSO?

[Kent Watsen]

I've doublechecked this.  Other than the not  passing RTLD_LAZY,
this really does work using gcc on OpenBSD, but not with Cygwin.
Does the shared library itself have to be a DSO?  I thought plugins
could share code with the base app that loads them into memory?
