No, __rseq_abi will not be shared with the outer libc, so the inner libc will always see -1 there, even if the outer libc has performed registration. libio/vtables.c has some example what you can do: /* In case this libc copy is in a non-default namespace, we always need to accept foreign vtables because there is always a possibility that FILE * objects are passed across the linking boundary. */ { Dl_info di; struct link_map *l; if (!rtld_active () || (_dl_addr (_IO_vtable_check, &di, &l, NULL) != 0 && l->l_ns != LM_ID_BASE)) return; } _IO_vtable_check would have to be replaced with your own function; the actual function doesn't really matter. The rtld_active check covers the static dlopen case, where rtld_active () is false in the inner libc. Thanks, Florian
