BINGO!  Removing the link against the lua library and adding the
-undefined dynamic lookup did the trick.  I'm using libtool to
perform the linking and it originally had that flag in there; I
inadvertently removed it when trying to isolate the problem.

The working link command is

        gcc -Wl,-undefined -Wl,dynamic_lookup  -bundle  -o ifc.so ifc.o

It's 10.6.  The -ldl came from libtool when I instructed it to link
against liblua.  After I stopped doing that the -ldl disappeared.

I have it in there (in any case, the gcc documentation indicates it's
the default on Darwin & Mac OS X).  


Thanks very much for your help!
