 I was playing with the new dl code on my debian hamm system at home
 which must be a fairly typical glibc2 linux and it only worked when I
 hand patched the makefile to add a "-Wl,-E" to the link flags. 
What happens when you feed `--with-shlib=yes' to configure?

 I guess this should have been configure's job. I did not
investigate
 further. 
Yup.  I've run one test and autodetection didn't work.  It looks like
it might be a logic error in configure because -ldl is being detected
and added to the link command, but ld_dynamic_link_flags isn't getting
set correctly.  It appears to work when I explicitly add --with-shlib.
