Hans: "If I recall correctly, the cause of all of this is the
reference to dlopen generated by the interception code. I would
guess it suffices to link against whatever you need for dlopen on
platforms that provide dlopen. If anyone can think of a portable
way to intercept dlopen without pulling in those libraries ..."

I don't know. I was just proposing a quick fix, which should go away
since the need for a dlopen reference is gone with newer version of
the GC, if I understand/remember well.
