configure: check for dlsym instead of dlopen.

anarazel · anarazel · commit 6a767bc2e712 · 2022-03-23T12:43:38.000-07:00
When building with sanitizers the sanitizer library provides dlopen, but not dlsym(), making configure think that -ldl isn't needed. Just checking for dlsym() ought to suffice, hard to see dlsym() being provided without dlopen() also being provided. Backpatch to all branches, for the same reasons as 46ab07f.
