Thanks. But if it ain't one thing...

$ make
gcc  -o hacklocaledir.so -fPIC -shared ../hacklocaledir.c
cc1: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position independent)
../hacklocaledir.c: In function `__open':
../hacklocaledir.c:44: error: `RTLD_NEXT' undeclared (first use in this 
function)
../hacklocaledir.c:44: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported 
only once
../hacklocaledir.c:44: error: for each function it appears in.)
../hacklocaledir.c: At top level:

make: *** [hacklocaledir.so] Error 1

Cygwin dlfcn.h does not define RTLD_NEXT. Sigh.
