TL;DR: on openbsd the various dl* functions are in libc.  The attached
patch drops the -ldl here.

Longer version:

I wanted to try the native-comp.  On OpenBSD gcc 10 isn't available, and
gcc 8 doesn't bundle libgccjit.  I hacked the port of of gcc 8 to
provide also the libgccjit, but even if the "smoke test" worked,
building emacs with gcc8 and libgccjit failed.  (this was a couple of
months ago at least).  Today I gave it another shot and built gcc 10
from sources somewhere in my $HOME, and then managed to get emacs up and
running :)  -- honestly, given the amount of hacks to get gcc10 working
in $HOME I am surprised nothing has exploded yet.

I still get a bunch of warnings (atm *Warnings* is 301 lines long), but
they are related to how I installed libgccjit and gcc10, not emacs
itself.

Anyway, none of the above is really about the patch.  The only real
modification on the emacs side was to drop -ldl (and something related
get getopt_long, but I need to investigate that a bit more).

Thanks
