You may need to get an extra compilation flag, -ldl, added to the link line, though it is a little surprising to find that's necessary. That might solve dlopen, dlclose, dlerror, dlsym. Missing crypt is more puzzling; maybe there's a library -lcrypt or something that's needed. It is very odd, though; those are not normally a problem.
The Perl configuration shows -ldl and -lcrypt are used. The debug output does not show a linking operation, but it is a linking operation which is failing, which is very puzzling. I'll see what I can do to reproduce it.
