Obviously that is only going to work with a 5005-style threaded perl.

In your C app which embeds perl you need to "build in" dynamic linking if
you want it - same way perl does:

Change that to:
perl_parse(my_perl, xs_init, 3, args, (char **)NULL);

And add:
static void
xs_init(pTHX)
{
char *file = __FILE__;
dXSUB_SYS;
newXS("DynaLoader::boot_DynaLoader", boot_DynaLoader, file);
}
You will also need to link against the right library e.g.
lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
