I can reproduce this.

The  Dillo source  does  something  a little  devious.   It refers  to
fl_oldfocus, but this symbol is not declared in any header, it is just
shared between two *.c files via an extern declaration (with a comment
that this is a hack to  make Fl_Group work).  Something has changed in
libfltk.so to stop the linker finding  this symbol.  I don't know what
(I am not experienced in debugging linking failures.)

Incidentally, yoshimi also fails  to link against FLTK-1.3.3, although
a different symbol is involved.
