Hi,

This week

• Started working on changing the build system to make the plugins call our functions instead of the library functions as per step 4 of MDEV-22895.

• Worked on a proof-of-concept (poc-noservice-lzma) that bypassed the fake dynamic linker, and thus simplified the code greatly.
  Decided against using it because of stability and compatibility concerns.

Next week

• Finish tweaking the build system.

• Start work step 5 on MDEV-22895.

Thanks,
Kartik
