I thought the name "SLB" had something to do with shared libs?  Usually
the dynamic linker is a shared lib itself.  Why don't you just put the
actual loading with the path evaluation into a shared object?  Peeking
into the process' environment is a little too much magic for me...

Maybe a stupid answer, I have never really looked at the slb specs.
