Simply I don't know how a SLB is supposed to be created :).

And one thing missing in SLB, is a getFunctionPointerByName() to
retrieve the pointer to the function given its name, in the shared
library. In SLB, you must know the function number to call the right
function.

I think it should be possible to create a SLB generator, and create a
loader as a libxxx.a like I did for SDL.ldg.
