This started happening recently on Solaris, as well, but Solaris and all
modern Linux distributions *do* have dlopen support.

Somehow, libtool is confused; Joerg, do you have any idea why that might
be happening?

A bit more libtool confusion?  Perhaps it's linking with "-lelf" because
it thinks that, dlopen support being, in its mind, absent, it needs to
link Ethereal with some code that tries to do dlopen stuff itself, and
that the code uses libelf?

(Oddly, though, there's no "-lelf" in the result of my most recent
Solaris build.)
