Building on FreeBSD 3.2

   Two steps forward and one back. Indeed, config.log showed me the
   answer; it wasn't able to find libdl.so. This turned out to be in
   /compat/linux/lib, so I added a -L line pointing thereto at the point
   in the config script where it compiles its little bit of test code to
   see if dlopen() exists. Now, the same compilation gives the result
   "/compat/linux/lib/libdl.so: undefined reference to `_IO_stderr_". So
   it looks like I have some poking around with the FreeBSD Linux
   compatibility libraries ahead of me; oh joy.

Why are you trying to use the Linux compatibility?  Why not try and compile
the whole package to run natively on FreeBSD?  If that's the case, where do
you normally link dl_open() from?
