Did a bit of research, and -ldl seems to be a Linuxism that can be 
omitted on FreeBSD:

DLOPEN(3)              FreeBSD Library Functions Manual 
DLOPEN(3)

NAME
      dlopen, dlsym, dlfunc, dlerror, dlclose -- programmatic interface 
to the
      dynamic linker

LIBRARY
      Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
      #include <dlfcn.h>

      void *
      dlopen(const char *path, int mode);

      void *
      dlsym(void * restrict handle, const char * restrict symbol);

      dlfunc_t
      dlfunc(void * restrict handle, const char * restrict symbol);

      const char *
      dlerror(void);

      int
      dlclose(void *handle);


Next question: how to automagically strip the -ldl from LFLAGS (should 
really be LDFLAGS I think) when building on FreeBSD?
