Thanks a lot for the help Ian. Yeah I could see allmost all the libs are showing this,
$ readelf -s <Lib_Name> | grep "__dso_handle"
99: 00034dc0 0 OBJECT LOCAL HIDDEN 22 __dso_handle
Does this present in the symbol table ? Whats the significance of it?
Thanks,
Rajat

Use readelf -s to find out which shared library is referring to
__dso_handle. Figure out why it is doing that.
