I think what they should actually be doing on Linux (at least in distro
packages) is taking a step back from all these attempts to reproduce
the system's search path for public shared libraries, and instead doing
this in https://github.com/apache/tvm/blob/main/python/tvm/_ffi/base.py:
ctypes.CDLL('libtvm.so.0')
which will (ask glibc to) do the correct path search, in something like
99% less code.
Maybe all this complexity is needed on Windows or in a "relocatable"
package, but for a distro package it's completely unnecessary and
sometimes harmful.

I suspect the reason is: on Windows, PATH is the equivalent of Linux PATH,
but it also has a dual role as the equivalent of Linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
