     38  * Mandatory:
     39  * BIND_IMMEDIATE  - Resolve symbol references when the library is loaded.
     40  * BIND_DEFERRED   - Delay code symbol resolution until actual reference.
     41  *
     42  * Optionally:
     43  * BIND_FIRST	   - Place the library at the head of the symbol search order.
     44  * BIND_NONFATAL   - The default BIND_IMMEDIATE behavior is to treat all unsatisfied
     45  *		     symbols as fatal.	This flag allows binding of unsatisfied code
     46  *		     symbols to be deferred until use.
     47  *		     [Perl: For certain libraries, like DCE, deferred binding often
     48  *		     causes run time problems.	Adding BIND_NONFATAL to BIND_IMMEDIATE
     49  *		     still allows unresolved references in situations like this.]
     50  * BIND_NOSTART	   - Do not call the initializer for the shared library when the
     51  *		     library is loaded, nor on a future call to shl_unload().
     52  * BIND_VERBOSE	   - Print verbose messages concerning possible unsatisfied symbols.
     53  *
     54  * hp9000s700/hp9000s800:
     55  * BIND_RESTRICTED - Restrict symbols visible by the library to those present at
     56  *		     library load time.
     57  * DYNAMIC_PATH	   - Allow the loader to dynamically search for the library specified
     58  *		     by the path argument.
