Compiling Perl v5.6.0 on DjGpp went all right, but after some packages
complained about:

   dynamic loading not available in this perl

I tried to include dynamic loading.  However, Perl 'configure' complains
about 'dld.h' and 'dlopen.h' not being available.  Downloading and trying to
install 'dld-3.3.tar.gz' gives errors, presumably because it's a Linux
package, not DjGpp.  The package supports hosts:

   c*-convex-bsd* | i*86-*-linuxaout* | i*86-*-linuxoldld* | \
   i*86-sequent-sysv4* | m68k-*-sunos3* | vax-*-ultrix* ) ;;

I can't fool DjGpp by selecting a linux host, can I?  Is it possible to
compile Perl on DjGpp with dynamic loading enabled?
