+The #1 rule when instrumenting a target is: avoid instrumenting shared
+libraries at all cost. You would need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to
+these, you could accidently type "make install" and install them system wide -

+**Always compile libraries you want to have instrumented as static and link
+these to the target program!**

 Then build the target. (Usually with `make`)
