> AIX dlopen allows loading members of a lib; the syntax for members is libname(member-object) . However this needs an additional flag RTLD_MEMBER passed to dlopen.
> Example from our OpenJDK codebase : dlopen("/usr/lib/libperfstat.a(shr_64.o)", RTLD_MEMBER | RTLD_NOW);
> 
> However, currently we do not support this in os::dll_load, so member loading would fail because of the missing RTLD_MEMBER flag.
> See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.1?topic=d-dlopen-subroutine part about RTLD_MEMBER
