Btw, does anybody know how/why libdl seems to get linked in too?

We're not doing -ldl, and I'm not seeing any need for it, but it's 
definitely there on fedora, at least.

It seems to come from libcrypto. I can get rid of it with NO_OPENSSL, and 
that cuts down on the number of system calls in my startup by 16 (getting 
rid of both libcrypto and libdl). I wonder if there is some way to get the 
optimized openssl sha1 routines _without_ that silly ldl thing.
