you have to use RTLD_DEFAULT instead of handle, but I agree, this is not in conformance with SUSv3:

    The dlsym() function shall search for the named symbol in all objects loaded automatically as a result of loading the object referenced by handle (see dlopen()). Load ordering is used in dlsym() operations upon the global symbol object. The symbol resolution algorithm used shall be dependency order as described in dlopen().

    The RTLD_DEFAULT and RTLD_NEXT flags are reserved for future use.

Note "in all objects loaded automatically".  Good catch!
