As far as g++ goes, the file naming makes no difference to the generated
object files. Perhaps there is an option to g++ to mangle names in a
different way, but with the standard options, there is no "postmaster"
symbol in the generated dynamically loadable library, so linux's libdl 1.9
can't load the symbol "postmaster". Other options, compilers, libdl's,
and binutils might produce other results.
