/*
 This is needed specifically for GtkSharp:
 https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/issues/3038
 https://github.com/GtkSharp/GtkSharp/issues/443
 
 Instead of using plain DllImport they are manually calling dlopen with RTLD_GLOBAL and RTLD_LAZY flags:
 https://github.com/GtkSharp/GtkSharp/blob/b7303616129ab5a0ca64def45649ab522d83fa4a/Source/Libs/Shared/FuncLoader.cs#L80-L92
 
 Which causes libHarfBuzzSharp.so from HarfBuzzSharp to resolve some of the symbols from the system libharfbuzz.so.0
 which is a _different_ harfbuzz version.
 
 That results in a segfault.
 
 Previously there was a workaround - https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/pull/2247 but it got 
 disabled for .NET Core / .NET 5+.
 
 Why linux linker builds shared libraries in a way that makes it possible for them to resolve their own symbols from
 elsewhere escapes me.
 
 Here we are loading libHarfBuzzSharp.so from the .NET-resolved location, saving it, unloading the library
 and then defining a custom resolver that would call dlopen with RTLD_NOW + RTLD_DEEPBIND
