I got a similar situation with perl and the problem was that the perl 
executable was statistically linked to libdl. (Actually it was 
statistically linked to everything but libc)

So I just moved away the libdl.a file, recompiled perl and then ldd 
reported perl was dynamically linked to libdl!

So I really don't know why this happens but my suggestion is to move all
the relevant .a files temporarily away, recompile and then your perl and 
it's modules should be dynamically linked.

I have previously encountered similar problems, like 'gcc -o test test.c'
generating static executables. The location of the library files seems to
cause this...?
