Subject:   freebsd equiv of libdl.a (load shared libs)

I am porting a linux app which is looking for libdl.a (which I
understand from googling is related to loading of shared libs).  The
app makes a libusb-based shared lib.  FreeBSD uses shared libs, so I
assume there is equivalent functionality somewhere.  I also see
libdl.a in /compat/linux/lib, but I assume if I link a native FreeBSD
app against this, fireworks will be the only result.  I further assume
since I got no error from gcc, that some freebsd header actally points
to the exact functions expected in libdl.a, so they are in there
somewhere....
