Description

I had some trouble trying this on MacOS. Creating a namespace would hang (not sure if this is MacOS specific). Running sqlite3 with `DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES` didn't seem to interpose correctly, sqlite3 would still operate on the local file `test`. There are some tweaks to compiler and linker flags in spots that were necessary, I can contribute some of those back if it's of interest.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the namespace-creation hang on macOS and the sqlite3 behavior with DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES. Review the compiler and linker flag locations mentioned in the issue, then define the required macOS behavior and verify that namespace creation and SQLite interposition work without operating on the local test file.
