Checking the latter condition seems more robust.

It's not hard.  After configure.in's line

AC_CHECK_LIB(dl,       main)

you could add something like

AC_CHECK_LIB(dl, dlopen, [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_DLOPEN_IN_LIBDL)])

and make the corresponding addition to config.h.in and/or
Makefile.global.in, depending on whether you need access to this symbol
from C code, Makefiles, or both.
