No, as it is implemented as a plugin, it will be manually opened
by glade in the module path (the module path is resolved at
build time based on the package prefix and can be later retrieved
using the .pc files).

like libgladegtk.so, its manually dlopened from the module search path,
I think it should work fine without adding these dirs to the linker cache.
