Not sure *why* you'd need libdl, unless you're using an old gnu ld
that can only do static linking and can't handle the way sunos libc
contains a dynamic link reference (for the nameservice code) even in
the static libc. That's just a guess, though, might be something more
subtle.
It might be worth putting a mention of config.cache in a Readme or
something (assuming it isn't already mentioned); the autoconf INSTALL
has some mention of deleting config.cache, though not very strong
wording, probably because distclean removes it.
