I don't think it should. need_lib_prefix refers to whether dlopen et
al support loading libraries that don't start with lib. It's
unrelated with what the linker (ld, not ld.so) does with `-lname' to
find the library to link with, which is what ltdl.c is trying to do
here. Prepending lib unconditionally here is the right thing to do,
unless the linker actually does something different. I don't know of
any linker that searches for say foo.a when given -lfoo.
