I'd appreciate if you could write a test case for this functionality.

I'm not sure if the new functionality is needed.  If we document that
a struct link_map * obtained from _dl_find_object or via
_r_debug.r_map can be used as an argument to dlsym (and other places
where a DSO handle is currently accepted), programmers could use that
to get this effect.  I believe this works today (as an undocumented
feature) and does not record the dependency.
