I think yes because I am using the configure option --with-libtdl.
I enable this configure option only for SuSE Linux > 9.0 though:

    %if %suse_version > 900	    
                --with-libltdl \
    %endif

for SuSE Linux <= 9.0 it doesn't work with this option, for
SuSE Linux > 9.0 it doesn't work without this option.  I have not yet
investigated why, I don't clearly understand this stuff yet.

I tried deleting the *.a and it still works (on SuSE 9.2 where
I currently use --with-libltdl).
