I some know BSD system don't have the -ldl flag and dlopen-related functions are in the libc.

The configure script should check if dlopen is available, if not try again with -ldl, if not fail. If someone knows the right autoconf incantations for that... :)

Why not just use libltdl, which solves this for every platform?

Because Eli is not so found of having yet another dependency for something we already use natively on some platforms (windows build has a lot hard-coded lazily loaded DLLs).
