The
Linker.nativeLinker()doesn't take into accountLD_PRELOADwhich means if we change the allocator to something likejemallocortcmallocit will not get the correct free function causing it to segfault when called. This PR instead makes use ofdlsymwithRTLD_DEFAULTto get the correct function pointer.MemorySegment.NULL(or0) is the same asRTLD_DEFAULTwhich according to https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/dlsym.3.htmlThis is the same way Java gets the pointer (see the trace below), except they call it with the handle to
libsyslookup.soinstead ofRTLD_DEFAULTwhich means we don't get the actualfreefunction that will be called.I skipped a few less important steps in the trace just to keep it concise
