Setting the environment variable
NODE_RTLD_GLOBAL
totrue
setRTLD_GLOBAL
flag when loading module.This pull request is motivated by the fact that
dlopen
does not have the same behavior on MacOS X and Linux (cf.dlopen
man page) :I was not sure what name would be the best to use for this purpose, so this is a first suggestion, but I'd be happy to change them. Also, I've implemented that as an opt-in mode, with as few changes as I could, but I'd be also happy to extend the idea and provide more flexibility.

Many thanks in advance for considering this patch.
