That was a dead-end too.

I don't see a solution which uses a function.

We either need a value which is already valid when compiling or an address
of a symbol where the address is equal for all dlls and known when linking
the library.

The solution used with sun does not work too. The link a function _XtInherit
staticly to each library but inside the different libraries the symbols
map to different addresses and are not equal.

The only solution I see is the usage of a constant value.
