BIND_FIRST causes the dynamic loader to place the newly

causes
symbol lookups from that time forward to check the newly
loaded symbol
table before everything else. I can see this causing interesting
things to happen to a program if a shared library contains
symbol
names that are the same as those of, let's say, the C
runtime library.

From what I remember of Python and HP-UX, I'd guess that
this was
added for an extension module. I don't think that it would
be from the
standard Python libraries but rather for a user's custom
extension.
