In your example, unloading Plugin/DSO 1 should not unload the Crypto++ shared library. If that library is being unloaded, then it does seem that the dynamic linker has a bug. If the library is not unloaded, then the global destructors should not be run, so then there is a different bug. The dynamic linker is part of glibc, not gcc. I recommend that you try to reproduce this bug with a complete standalone test case. Then report that testcase at http://sourceware.org/bugzilla . Ian
