Hmm, I just took a longer lookat config, and it does choose the target
FreeBSD-elf for FreeBSD 3 and higher, and if one looks up FreeBSD-elf
in Configure, one can see that FreeBSD-elf indeed declares the
availability of dlfcn.  So, I think the best thing you can do is to
find out why you didn't get that configuration target.  I'd start with
checking config.
