In the case of smoketest, the lib containing cppunitTestPlugIn is not 
libtest_smoketest.so but libsmoketest.so (where the former links
against the latter).  The reason for that appears to be 
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8c478c911033243df90ba290b32732a1fd70130e> 
"create installation set for tests."  (Petr, does that feature still 
work, after gbuild'ification of smoketest?)

Looks like the dynamic loader on your system does not support dlsym to 
report a symbol not exported by the lib itself, but only indirectly by a 
lib the first lib links against.
