I've unfortunately stumbled upon a key difference in behaviour between
dlopen() and lt_dlopen(). When dlopen() encounters a bad library (e.g.
wrong arch), it will just continue on and find another library.
lt_dlopen() however, will stop on the first library which it can read.

This breaks libltdl applications horribly in multi-arch environments.
As LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not arch specific, having a universal one means
having one like:

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D/usr/foo/lib32:/usr/foo/lib64

This works fine with dlopen(), but not with lt_dlopen().

The fix seems simple enough. In find_handle_callback(), change:

	*phandle =3D 0;

to:

	return 0;
