Some guy named Eisentraut wanted it for plpython:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-05/msg00563.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2001-05/msg00283.php

Possibly that no longer applies, though. In general it seems like
our usage of loadable modules treats them all as independent objects,
so that not using RTLD_GLOBAL would be a more sensible policy. If it
won't break any of the existing PLs then I'm fine with removing it.
