+## Load lib with same name from different locations
+The sources in [ldso/samename][src-samename] show some experiments, loading the
+libs with the same name but potentially from different locations (paths).

 ## Dynamic Linking (x86_64)
 Dynamic linking basically works via one indirect jump. It uses a combination of
 function trampolines (`.plt` section) and a function pointer table (`.got.plt`
