I guess, it adds missing functions which jump to the actual 
implementation in so. This is done on windows too in import 
libraries, but export qualifier makes code a little faster 
because you make one indirect call instead of a direct call + 
indirect jump (it can be direct, but for this loader should be 
able to write to the code section to relocate the jump). You also 
only need an import table for such call.
