It doesn't. It tells you that some symbol is undefined, but it is
not the 'RootClass', because there should not be such a symbol in
Main in the first place.

Please post the exact error message you get from dlerror(3).

Yes, that's exactly what '-rdynamic' is for. However, you need
'-rdynamic' when you link Main, *not* when you link the Plugin.

If that's what you did, please try to construct a trivial compilable
example, and provide *exact* compile and link lines and gcc and
OS versions.
