To me, linking happens at compile time.  When the program
is actually build.  An executable that uses dlopen() can still
function without the symbol it is requesting.  It can be programmed
to terminate or to do something else.

A linked object is required for execution of the program and the linking
occurs at time of compile.

IMO, dlopen() is not linking.
