Hah!

Since no one more knowledgable has answered, I'll give it a try:

It looks like the linker is finding the wrong libraries, or maybe
finding libs in directories different from those found by configure.

Do you have any other copies of these libraries? For example, do you have
multiple copies of libdl.a? It looks like your machine is trying to link
to the wrong ones.
