You can do that already. Look at the mmap() man page. The run-time loader
(ld.so) runs in user space, so anything it does, you can do too (mmap
whatever you want to load, relocate symbols, etc.)

Sun provides in 4.1.1 a simple dynamic linker interface library with
dlopen(), dlsym(), etc.  These are also available in SVR4.
