I don't think that a change was made to specifically add libdl. Some machines require including that item on the link line, others don't. I think that autoconf decides whether to do it or not.

It sounds like libgc is built in a broken way, or this was for compatibility with ancient toolchains. Does anybody know why this change was made?
I'm interested because this kind of dependency tree fudging causes problems later (like this one).
