#1401112 — dlopen() and ELF alternatives

In 2016 we are still relying on flat file databases to store binaries.

I am looking for prior attempts at alternative interfaces to dlopen(), and
alternative formats for object files.

This is not a discussion club; cut the rethorics if you want to be taken
seriously.  You sound as if the only problem you have is that format is
insufficiently buzzword-compliant; if that's the case, nobody is going to
give a damn, obviously.  If you *do* have more specific problem, have
a courtesy to describe it...

There had been a plenty of object file formats; take a look at libbfd for a
sample of that panopticum.
