The prereq check tests not only whether a shared library can be built, but
also whether linking it with -ldl works.
However, on the following platforms, the dlopen() etc. functions exist in libc,
and a libdl does not exist:
macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, IRIX, OSF/1, Cygwin, Haiku.
The attached patch removes the requirement of a libdl. It enables 4 more tests
to be executed on FreeBSD, and produces no additional test failures on
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD.
Pushed.
thanks!
