Yes.  I maybe a Unix newbie, but not that stupid! :-)

The message seems to come from the dynamic linker.  _ggiAddDL() succeeded, so
I don't get why it can't load the mansync.so..., and then
_GGI_mansync_init() is not resolved so program dies.

Another wild guess, are libGGI DL functions re-entrant?  It calls
_ggiAddDL() in GGIdlinit.  I will have to see.  If they turn out to be not,
I suppose I have to move it to GGIsetmode instead.
