I've seen quite a bit of warnings but they might as well be caused by
inline functions; I'll doublecheck.

If I had any idea how to CC you on the issue reported... for now I only
have internal review IDs...

Yeah for shared libraries I'd be expecting not to have useless
dependencies (this is why --as-needed exists with GNU ld), but the point
here is that libraries are being built without linking to a (needed)
library but programs are not; it's not like I want to have pointless
dependencies in final executables.

Either it should be consistent (linking in libdl on both cases when
needed, or not) or it's going to be difficult to test whether libdl is
needed (since the linking test to dlopen with no extra library that is
present in FFmpeg will have false positive results), and shared
libraries will fail to build.
