The address sanitizer contains a redirector that captures dlopen calls,
so checks for dlopen with AC_SEARCH_LIBS will always conclude that
dlopen is present when the sanitizer is on. This means it won't add
-ldl to LIBS even if needed, and the immediately-following attempt to
actually link with -lbfd will fail because libbfd also needs dlsym,
which ASAN does *not* contain a redirector for.
If we check for dlsym instead of dlopen, the check works whether ASAN is
on or off. (bfd uses both in close proximity: if it needs one, it will
always need the other.)
