Its ok I dont see this as pushy, you are just trying to figure out something.

Now I dont remember anything about AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN in our
autoconf setup, if its there it might be historical and unneeded at this
point. We do call dlopen() but only by way of GModule (glib will pull in
libdl by way of gmodule), so I dont see why we would need a direct/explicit
dependancy here.
