Comment # 12 on bug 1200030 from
Slurm modules are written in a way that they may be used in different contexts.
Not all symbols are available in all contexts, symbols which are not available
in a certain context will not be used there.
With this in mind, a new link flag could be introduced that would behave like
'-z now' but would silently resolve unresolved symbols to invalid addresses so
that an access would cause a segfault. This could would never been reached, so
the segfault would never occur, if it does however - due to a bug - the code
could not be exploited.
Until this is available, the only solution is to either continue using lazy
bindings or create stubs.
