Because -ld (BUILDLINK_LDADD.dl) is not added DL_LIBS (see 
pkgsrc/mk/dlopen.builtin.mk)


Anyway, this package should be refreshed.

GNU configure support had been added since 0.59 (7 years ago!),
so it should be switched to GNU_CONFIGURE=yes, then such issue will be gone 
away,
and CFLAGS/LDFLAGS tricks in Makefile will not be required anymore.

"dlfcn" is only required for GSSAPI support with dynamic loading.
However, default configuration is not matched for various situation
(shlib name mismatch, prefer pkgsrc one than builtin, and so on),
i.e, current packaging is useless.
