Thanks for the replies.
The problem was that the fink package dlcompat-dev was not installed.
I think the critical file that it contains is /sw/include/dlfcn.h
(maybe /sw/lib/libdl.a).
I use fink, so dlcompat-dev is required, in addition to the packages
dlcompat and dlcompat-shlibs.
Apparently ./configure tests for some aspect of dlcompat that was
present without dlcompat-dev and proceeds, even though dlfcn.h is not
present and is necessary for compiling. Perhaps it is the absence of
/sw/lib/libdl.a that causes the build to fail.
Anyway, seems like configure should fail in this case and that this is
a bug in the build process. Is that correct?
FYI, here are the parts of the different packages:
