I basically was hoping for a review of the prerequisite patches I posted at
[1], particularly 0003 (different approach than before, comparatively large).

Here's an updated version of the patches. There was a stupid copy-paste bug in
the prior version of the 0003 / export_dynamic patch.

I'll push 0001, 0002 shortly. I don't think 0002 is the most elegant approach,
but it's not awful. I'd still like some review for 0003, but will try to push
it in a few days if that's not forthcoming.

Greetings,
