/* According to POSIX.1-2001, dlerror() is not necessarily thread-safe
 * (see https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/), and so must be
 * called within the same locked section as the dlopen()/dlsym() call which
 * may have caused an error.
 *
 * However, some libc implementations, such as glibc, implement dlerror() using
 * thread-local storage, so are thread-safe. As of early 2021:
 *  - glibc is thread-safe: https://github.com/bminor/glibc/blob/HEAD/dlfcn/libc_dlerror_result.c
 *  - uclibc-ng is not thread-safe: https://cgit.uclibc-ng.org/cgi/cgit/uclibc-ng.git/tree/ldso/libdl/libdl.c?id=132decd2a043d0ccf799f42bf89f3ae0c11e95d5#n1075
 *  - Other libc implementations have not been checked, and no problems have
 *    been reported with them in 10 years, so default to assuming that they
 *    don’t need additional thread-safety from GLib
