I didn't take a close look at the patch, but I was just wondering
because if -ldl is before conftest.c then the compiler might not notice
that you need dlopen() from -ldl until after it's processing conftest.c,
which would be "too late". So yes, sometimes order of files/libraries
on the command line *is* important.
