/usr/bin/ld unable to find potato libdl.so

[Bernd Kreimeier <bk@gamers.org>]

Using the foo.c as quoted in the dlopen manpage, and
the call: 
  gcc -rdynamic -o foo foo.c -ldl

I get
 /usr/bin/ld: cannot open -ldl: No such file or directory
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

after installing the most recent potato packages on top of
slink. I got no error messages during install, the 
 libdl.so.2 => libdl-2.1.2.so
is present, has proper permissions, and is found by
ldconfig, but 

/usr/bin/ld -v
GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1.0.25)

is claims to be unable to locate it. This is specific to libdl,
e.g. -lm has no problems (except for unresolved references).
