Are you building --with-perl?  The only thing I know of in INN that cares
about libdl is the Perl support, indirectly, to support dynamic loading of
modules.

It's odd that you're linking against /usr/lib/libdl.a, which sounds like a
static library.  On Linux, libdl should be in /lib rather than /usr/lib
and should be dynamic.  In any event, there is no dlsym.o object file in
INN, so that object file is probably coming from the library.
