Ehh, this I don't get. Why not simply depend on !BR2_STATIC_LIBS like we
do for other users of dlfcn.h?

If BR2_STATIC_LIBS is enabled then there won't be any .so files in the
target rootfs, so even if the C library has dlopen support it won't
work.

If an external (uClibc-based) toolchain has no shared library support
then it can only be used in BR2_STATIC_LIBS configurations.
