config says:

 # Write here any options you may need for your C linker.
 # Support for dynamic loading in Linux with gcc needs -Wl,-E. If you are not
 # using gcc or do not want support for dynamic loading, leave MYLDFLAGS empty.
 #
 MYLDFLAGS= -Wl,-E

So, just comment the line above. We left this as the default so that
compilation under Linux would work cleanly.

Mac OS X does have support for dynamic loading; there's even a dlfcn
module for it at http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/dlcompat/ , but I
don't know whether you need something like -Wl,-E. Perhaps it's called
-export-dynamic instead of -E?

Thanks for the report. That's the kind of thing we're looking for.
