OpenBSD lacks RTLD_GLOBAL, so it should be removed from
dynloader/openbsd.h

I agree with this and my regression tests now pass. Can someone please
apply the attached patch?

Okay.

Btw., couldn't we replace dynloader/openbsd.h with something more like,
say, dynloader/sunos4.h and get rid of the BSD44_derived_dl*() functions?
AFAICT, the issue was that on earlier (Net|Free)BSD systems you needed to
prepend an '_' to the looked-up symbol, but I could not find any reference
to this in the OpenBSD documentation.

On OpenBSD, you still need to do that. I haven't checked Free yet, but I
think that's still true also.

RTLD_GLOBAL removed. You better hope it acts like it by default, though.
