Re: pkg/29029: bootstrap should USE_BUILTIN.dl=yes in mk.conf for Interix

Yes, there is a /usr/lib/libdl.so (symlink to 
/opt/gcc.3.3/lib/libdl.so.3.5).  That would be a good way to detect it since 
the header file is in a stranger location /opt/gcc.3.3/include/dlfcn.h. 
There is also the return value of
echo "" | gcc -include dlfcn.h -E -
