Right.  I was wondering the same when I read Marco's reply.  I thought
this is something in old python versions, but my testing never involved
python.  I just used a simple uname implementation calling uname via
dlopen/dlsym.

Either way, the problem persists.  Newly built executables requesting
uname via dlsym should certainly get the new implementation.
